BREAKING NEWS: : Nigeria President Tinubu Distributes New Hilux, Hummer Bus To States For 2027 Campaign Amid Soaring Insecurity

According to the sources, the presentation took place on Monday in Abuja, where state coordinators gathered to receive the vehicles and instructions regarding funding for the 2027 presidential campaign.
President Bola Tinubu has presented a set of luxury vehicles — including a brand-new Toyota Land Cruiser Jeep, a Toyota Hilux, and a Hummer bus — to each state coordinator of a new political mobilisation structure ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Multiple sources confirmed to SaharaReporters on Wednesday that the vehicles were handed over under the platform known as the Renewed Hope Ambassadors...TAP TO CONTINUE FULL READING.
The group is a nationwide campaign network spearheaded and fully coordinated by Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodimma.
According to the sources, the presentation took place on Monday in Abuja, where state coordinators gathered to receive the vehicles and instructions regarding funding for the 2027 presidential campaign.
“Each of the states was told to contribute N1billion to the purse of the Renewed Hope Ambassadors for Asiwaju’s 2027 campaign,” one of the sources said.
“Governor Uzodimma is the Director General, and everything was done under his supervision.”
Another source revealed that Tinubu’s public endorsement of Uzodimma as the face of the Renewed Hope campaign was deliberate and tied to this new mobilisation structure.

“Do you know that the President purposely announced Governor Uzodimma as the Renewed Hope Ambassador for the Asiwaju 2027 campaign? This is not accidental. The vehicles are part of the political machinery being put in place,” the source added.

The revelations come at a time when Nigeria is grappling with worsening insecurity, including frequent kidnappings, violent attacks, and the displacement of thousands of families across several regions.
One of the sources told SaharaReporters that the timing of the luxury car donations shows a deep disconnect between the federal government and the lived realities of ordinary Nigerians.
A top insider expressed shock that such resources were being deployed for political preparation rather than security reinforcement.
“Despite the insecurity in the country, they still went ahead to present three different cars to each state for the 2027 campaign — while terrorists are busy kidnapping people every day,” the source said.
“People can’t travel safely, yet billions are being pumped into political vehicles.”
Meanwhile, on November 25, 2025, the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, had disclosed that President Tinubu appointed Governor Uzodimma as the Renewed Hope Ambassador.
According to the statement, “Ahead of the national launch of the Federal Government’s Ward Development Programme, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has appointed Governor Hope Uzodimma of Imo State as the Renewed Hope Ambassador.
“In his role as ambassador, he will double as the Director-General for Party Outreach, Engagement and Mobilisation.
“With the appointment, which takes immediate effect, Governor Uzodimma will be responsible, in collaboration with the All Progressives Congress leadership and the governors, for evangelising the Tinubu administration’s programme.”
Onanuga stated, “As Renewed Hope Ambassador, Governor Uzodimma, who also chairs the Progressive Governors Forum, will ensure harmony, inclusiveness and strategic coordination across all levels of the party. He will also be involved in mobilising and engaging people.
“He will work with the APC governors, who will also be Ambassadors of Hope.
“President Tinubu expects Governor Uzodimma and his colleagues to promote and disseminate the party’s achievements and milestones since 2023, thereby reinforcing the message of Renewed Hope nationwide.”
