The Deputy Spokesperson of the House of Representatives, Philip Agbese, has launched a new cross-party political mobilisation network to support President Bola Tinubu’s bid for a second term in 2027.
The group, named the Renewed Hope Labourers Network (RHOLAN), aims to mobilise workers and grassroots supporters across all of Nigeria’s 176,846 polling units.
Agbese, a Labour Party member from Benue State, serves as the founder and Coordinating Director-General of the network.
In a statement issued on Tuesday in Abuja, Agbese said the initiative is driven by his belief in Tinubu’s economic reform agenda rather than party loyalty.
“We are a people ready to work for President Tinubu across the 176,846 polling units in Nigeria. This is not about party. It is about belief in the leadership and philosophy of President Tinubu,” he said.
“Every polling unit in this country is important, and in every one of them, there are labourers who believe in what the president is doing for the nation.”
Agbese explained that RHOLAN would blend technology with traditional grassroots mobilisation to create a direct connection between the presidency and voters at the polling-unit level.
The organisation plans to use data and digital platforms to identify, engage and organise supporters while highlighting the administration’s achievements.
“Our mobilisation and networking will be the first of its kind in the history of this country. We will use technology to connect directly with grassroots people, showcase the President’s achievements in clear and practical terms, and secure the genuine buy-in of the most neglected segments of our society,” he stated.
He emphasised that the campaign would go beyond state capitals and party offices to reach communities where ordinary Nigerians live and work, including markets, farms, construction sites and the informal sector.
Agbese pointed to fiscal reforms, infrastructure, agriculture, power, roads and social investment as areas where the administration’s policies could benefit workers and low-income earners.
While acknowledging short-term hardships from the reforms, he argued that continuity is essential for long-term gains.
“President Tinubu has chosen the difficult but necessary path of resetting the economy so that it can work for the many rather than the few. We believe that when the foundations are made strong, the labourer in the remotest polling unit will eventually feel the difference in his pocket, in his children’s school and in the security of his community,” he said.
The lawmaker added that a second term would allow the government to deepen and institutionalise its policies, warning that a change of direction could undermine progress already made.
RHOLAN will operate from its headquarters in Abuja while building structures nationwide, with the goal of turning grassroots Nigerians into active participants in the political process rather than mere election-day voters.
