The 18 Local Government chairmen have been instructed by Edo State Governor Monday Okpebholo to install 360 campaign billboards throughout the State in support of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s reelection.
Governor Okpebholo reportedly issued the directive on Friday, January 30, 2026, during the National Renewed Hope Initiative’s Edo State chapter’s inauguration.
To forward President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s goal for Nigerians, the National Renewed Hope Initiative was created.
According to Okpebholo, each Council chairman would install twenty billboards in their respective local government areas.
According to him, the purpose of erecting the billboards throughout the 18 Local Government areas is to make sure that President Tinubu’s message of Renewed Hope reaches churches, mosques, religious institutions, and grassroots communities.
It is impossible to replace a functioning president, according to the governor, who praised President Tinubu for improvements in important areas like the economy, education, security, and petroleum.
He pointed out that Nigeria is already changing as a result of the President’s audacious and brave initiatives.
Nonetheless, he called on the Edo people to back the President’s bid for a second term at Aso Rock.
Okpebholo expressed optimism that all Edo residents, including young people and the elderly, are prepared to mobilize in large numbers in support of the president.
“The ability to mobilize is more important than the agenda alone. The Edo people are ready. Asiwaju’s record in governance is unbeatable. A man who is performing cannot be replaced.
“President Tinubu’s reelection campaign is already reinforced with 30 APC governors across the country. In 2027, victory is certain.
“I want local government chairmen in each of the 18 LGAs to put up at least 20 billboards and make sure the Renewed Hope message reaches churches, mosques, religious institutions, and grassroots groups.
“This message needs to be heard by religious groups. Mosques and churches need to be involved. Religious organizations will shortly be established.
“I pledged 2.5 million votes to Mr. President. With the addition of the women’s leader and our party chairman, Jarrett Tenebe, we now have 3.9 million votes. “Edo people need to fulfill this commitment,” he declared.
Earlier, in his welcome address the Edo State Coordinator of the National Renewed Hope Initiative, Mr Sylvester Aigboboh, inaugurated the Senatorial, Local Government Areas and Youth Coordinators for President Tinubu’s 2027 re-election.
Aigboboh praised President Tinubu’s audacious changes, saying they are bringing in investors and giving Nigerians fresh hope.
He pointed out that the benefits of eliminating gasoline subsidies are starting to show.
He, however, charged the ambassadors to intensify grassroots mobilisation and promote the policies and achievements of President Tinubu’s administration.
The State Coordinator of the National Renewed Hope Initiative posited that the inauguration marked the formal activation of a people-driven movement aimed at strengthening party outreach, promoting good governance, and consolidating the Renewed Hope Agenda.
He described the appointments of the ambassadors as a call to duty, urging the coordinators to serve as effective bridges between government, party leadership, and the grassroots, while fostering unity and inclusiveness within the All Progressives Congress, APC.
“The objective of this group is to foster inclusiveness, galvanise grassroots support, and consolidate the gains towards President Tinubu’s re-election in 2027,” he said, urging members to remain loyal in service to the party and nation”, he added.
The appointed three senatorial leaders of the Renewed Hope Ambassadors are Joshua Uwagboe, Hon. Odinose Okojie, and Hon. Abdul Lawani for Edo South, Central and North senatorial districts respectively.
The appointees thanked Governor Okpebholo for the confidence reposed in them and pledged to take the campaign message to the grassroots to ensure President Tinubu’s re-election.
Eighteen others were inaugurated to coordinate activities across the 18 local government areas, while three youth coordinators were also appointed from the three senatorial districts.
