The All Progressives Congress (APC) has intensified preparations for the 2027 general elections by mobilizing over 4.4 million grassroots canvassers across the country.
The All Progressives Congress has stepped up preparations for the 2027 general elections with the mobilisation of more than 4.4 million grassroots canvassers across the country.
The disclosure was made on Wednesday by the Director-General of the Renewed Hope Ambassadors and Chairman of the Progressive Governors’ Forum, Hope Uzodimma, during the opening of a two-day national retreat of the organisation in Abuja. According to him, the mobilisation strategy is built around Nigeria’s 176,846 polling units, with 25 canvassers assigned to each unit.
He said the arrangement would produce a nationwide network of 4,421,150 volunteers to drive voter engagement and promote the achievements of President Bola Tinubu’s administration ahead of the next presidential election. Uzodimma expressed confidence that Tinubu would secure another term in office, insisting that the administration’s economic and governance reforms would earn the support of Nigerians at the polls.
He described the mobilisation plan as a deliberate effort to strengthen the party’s grassroots structure rather than relying on last-minute political campaigns.
“At 25 canvassers to a polling unit, that is a lawful civic force of 4,421,150 people across the federation. “That is the mathematics of serious mobilisation. That is the difference between hoping to win and organising to win. ” The Imo State governor said the Renewed Hope Ambassadors had developed a command structure stretching from a national coordinating centre to the six geopolitical zones, the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory, 774 local government areas, wards and polling units.
He explained that the organisation now operates through 17 specialised directorates, including youth mobilisation, media and publicity, digital and new media, technology and data, women affairs, legal services, research and innovation, diaspora affairs and intelligence gathering. Uzodimma also revealed that the group had introduced a digital communication platform designed to monitor public sentiment and tackle misinformation in real time. He said the initiative would help provide verified information about government policies and reforms while improving engagement with citizens.
Speaking on the significance of the next general election, the APC chieftain described the 2027 contest as a major test for the country. According to him, the election would determine whether Nigeria continues on what he called the path of reforms and stability or returns to old policies.
He urged participants at the retreat, drawn from the six geopolitical zones, to use the gathering to produce practical strategies for mobilisation, including a national blueprint, state action plans, a standard messaging guide, a monitoring framework and an election readiness checklist. The governor stressed that government achievements must be effectively communicated to the public, warning that failure to do so creates room for false narratives.
“Very often, it is silence. When we do good work and nobody hears the story, someone else tells it for us, and they tell it wrong. When reform goes unexplained, rumour rushes in to fill the gap. ”
