Chief Okey Ezenwa, Anambra Coordinator of Renewed Hope Ambassadors (RHA), has challenged All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) candidates seeking to associate with President Bola Tinubu’s re-election campaign to openly demonstrate their support by displaying his photographs on their campaign materials.
Ezenwa said it was unacceptable for candidates claiming to support Tinubu’s re-election to omit the President’s pictures from their posters, billboards and other campaign materials.
He made the position known in a communiqué issued after a meeting of zonal and Local Government Area (LGA) coordinators of RHA in Awka.
The communiqué described the practice as misleading, warning that the organisation would not support what it termed covert or “closet” support for the President.
It disclosed that the Anambra chapter of RHA had established a grassroots mobilisation structure with 25 canvassers in each of the 5,720 polling units across the state, giving it a potential network of 143,000 canvassers.
The structure, according to the communiqué, comprises 21 LGA coordinators, 326 ward coordinators, 11-member LGA committees and 10-member ward steering committees.
It said the network would work with members’ families and other supporters to mobilise votes ahead of the Jan. 16, 2027 presidential election.
The meeting also resolved to engage all APC candidates for the National and State Assemblies in Anambra to agree on a common strategic direction.
It expressed concern over what it described as the apparent inactivity of the party’s state chapter, reaffirming RHA’s commitment to mobilising support for APC candidates across presidential, National Assembly and State Assembly elections.
The coordinators consequently directed all zonal, LGA and ward officials to intensify grassroots mobilisation for Tinubu’s re-election.

They also pledged full participation in the presidential rallies scheduled for Nov. 19 in Awka and Nov. 29 in Enugu.
The meeting commended the Director-General of RHA, Sen. Hope Uzodimma, for his efforts in mobilising nationwide support for Tinubu.
