Ogun State Gov. Prince Dapo Abiodun says a 50,400-person outreach network will seek support for the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state ahead of Nigeria’s 2027 general elections, with activity planned in every ward.
Abiodun named the group the Renewed Hope Apostles. He said it would share the APC’s account of government policies and achievements with residents and address what he described as misinformation. Premium Times published a press release carrying the announcement.
Abiodun put the number of canvassers in Ogun East at 15,000 and the statewide total at 50,400. The release says the planned door-to-door effort will cover Ogun’s 236 wards and describes a polling-unit structure for the network.
He said recruiting and verifying the canvassers took about three months. The announcement came during stakeholder meetings across Ogun’s 20 local government areas, according to the release. It did not give a date for the canvassing to start.
Abiodun also urged APC members to work together. “A divided party cannot win an election,” he said, according to the release. He said he expected the network to grow and asked members to strengthen their relationships and understand the assignment.
The effort’s stated aim is to build support for the APC in 2027. In a separate state-level effort, Renewed Hope Ambassadors pledged grassroots backing in Akwa Ibom for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and other APC candidates, as EconoTimes reported in its earlier coverage of the pledge.
