In a bold move to energize grassroots mobilization for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s 2027 re-election campaign, Chief Sunday Dare, CON, Special Adviser to the President on Media and Public Communications, has donated a brand-new bus to the Renewed Hope Ambassadors of Ogbomosoland.
The official handover took place on Friday, February 20, 2026, at the APC Local Government Office in Apake, Ogbomoso, drawing a crowd of party faithful, community leaders, and political stakeholders. The bus was received by Chief Ademola Olawale Agbademo, Coordinator of the Renewed Hope Ambassadors (Ogbomoso North Chapter), alongside prominent figures such as Senator Yusuf Brimo, Engr. Dayo Lawal, Hon. Olamiju Alao-Akala, Baba Akin Ọkẹ, Alhaji Wasiu Olukan, Alhaji Bukola Badmus, Barrister Daud Suilayman Abese, Alhaji Basiru Akatapa, Alhaji Rasaki Razor, and Hon. Jacob Ajao.
It was a strategic investment by the former Youth and Sports Development Minister in the movement to secure Tinubu’s second term. This bus will ease movement, enhance coordination, and deepen our engagement with voters at the grassroots level. It’s about taking the Renewed Hope agenda to every street, every ward, and every household in Ogbomoso and beyond.
With this bus, members can mobilize faster, organize rallies more efficiently, and sustain our presence across all local governments in Ogbomoso Zone,
The event also featured goodwill messages from other APC leaders, who hailed Chief Dare’s commitment to Tinubu’s vision and his consistent support for party structures in Oyo State. They noted that such contributions were critical to sustaining momentum as the 2027 elections draw closer.
As the bus rolled out of the APC office to applause and chants of Renewed Hope! Tinubu for 2027!, it became clear that this donation was not just about transportation, it was about driving a political movement forward, one community at a time.

RMAFC Hails President Tinubu’s Executive Order on Direct Remittance of Oil, Gas Revenues to Federation Account
Joel Ajayi
The Chairman of the Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC), M. B. Shehu, PhD, OFR, has commended His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, for signing the Executive Order directing the direct remittance of oil and gas revenues to the Federation Account.
The Commission describes the Executive Order as a bold, constitutionally grounded, and fiscally transformative intervention aimed at restoring transparency, eliminating revenue leakages, and strengthening the revenue base of the three tiers of government.
The Executive Order, signed pursuant to Section 5 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended) and anchored on Section 44(3) of the Constitution, reinforces the constitutional principle that ownership, control, and derivative rights in all minerals, mineral oils, and natural gas in Nigeria are vested in the Government of the Federation for the collective benefit of the Nigerian people.
The Commission notes that before this Executive Order, several structural and legal provisions within the Petroleum Industry Act (PIA) created channels through which substantial Federation revenues were subject to multiple deductions, including management fees, frontier exploration allocations, and other layered charges.
These deductions significantly reduced net remittances to the Federation Account and constrained fiscal capacity across the federal, state, and local governments.
RMAFC wishes to state that the Commission has consistently advocated the review of statutory and regulatory provisions that create opportunities for revenue leakage, erosion, or retention outside the Federation Account, as evidenced by the recent Retreat held on 9th of February, 20226 in Enugu State. The Executive Order has now decisively addressed these structural concerns.
The Commission considers this reform timely and necessary, particularly in light of the pressing fiscal demands facing the nation, including security, infrastructure, education, healthcare, the energy transition, and economic stabilisation.
By freeing revenues previously subjected to layered deductions and fragmented oversight, the Executive Order enhances transparency, improves cash flow predictability, strengthens fiscal federalism, and restores the constitutional revenue rights of the Federal, State, and Local Governments.
The Chairman emphasised that this reform significantly enhances the Commission’s ability to discharge its constitutional mandate under Paragraph 32 of Part I of the Third Schedule to the Constitution, particularly in monitoring the accruals to and disbursement of revenue from the Federation Account.
“With this Executive Order, the constitutional architecture of revenue remittance is strengthened. It closes structural leakages, eliminates duplicative deductions, and ensures that revenues due to the Federation are remitted transparently. This directly supports the Commission’s oversight and monitoring responsibilities,” the Chairman stated.
RMAFC reiterates its full support for the Federal Government’s ongoing reforms aimed at strengthening public financial management, enhancing accountability, and repositioning Nigeria’s revenue system in line with global best practices.
The Commission remains committed to working collaboratively with all relevant institutions to ensure the effective implementation of this Executive Order and to safeguard the integrity of the Federation Account for the benefit of all Nigerians
