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.

The Executive Chairman of the Federal Character Commission (FCC), Honorable Hulayat Motunrayo Omidiran, has called on Nigerians to use the occasion of the nation’s 66th Independence Anniversary to renew their faith in Nigeria, strengthen national unity and recommit themselves to building a more inclusive and prosperous country.

In her 66th Independence Day message, Hon. Omidiran described October 1 as more than a celebration of freedom, saying the anniversary provides an opportunity for Nigerians to reflect on the country’s journey, acknowledge its progress and challenges, and renew the collective determination to build a nation where every citizen has a sense of belonging.

According to the FCC Executive Chairman, the Federal Character Principle remains particularly important to the quest for national cohesion because equitable representation promotes a sense of ownership and confidence in the Nigerian project.

“Nigeria is a nation of great diversity and
enormous potential. Our responsibility is to ensure that this diversity becomes a bridge that connects us rather than a barrier that separates us. Every Nigerian deserves to feel that he or she belongs to this country and has a role to play in its development,” Omidiran said.

The FCC boss called on government institutions at all levels to remain committed to fairness, equity, accountability and inclusive governance, while urging citizens to support efforts aimed at strengthening national institutions and promoting peaceful coexistence.

“We must not lose faith in Nigeria. The challenges before us are real, but so are the opportunities and the enormous human and natural resources available to us. Every citizen has a responsibility to contribute his or her own quota to building the Nigeria we desire,” she stated.

The FCC Executive Chairman also urged young Nigerians to remain committed to acquiring knowledge and skills, entrepreneurship, innovation, sports and other productive ventures, describing the youth as critical stakeholders in the country’s future.

“As we celebrate 66 years of independence, let us remember that the Nigeria we want cannot be built by government alone. It requires the commitment of all of us – leaders and citizens, young and old, from every part of the federation. Together, we can build a Nigeria where justice, fairness, opportunity and peace are available to all,” she said.

Omidiran reaffirmed the FCC’s commitment to the effective discharge of its constitutional mandate and to supporting efforts that promote equitable representation and inclusive national development across the federation.

The former lawmaker wished Nigerians at home and abroad a peaceful and memorable 66th Independence Anniversary, praying for continued peace, stability, prosperity and progress for the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

“Our differences should never be greater than our common identity as Nigerians. Let us continue to choose unity over division, service over self-interest and hope over despair. The Nigeria of our dreams is possible if we all play our part,” Omidiran said.

“On behalf of the Federal Character Commission, I congratulate all Nigerians on this 66th Independence Anniversary. May this occasion renew our patriotism, strengthen our unity and inspire us to work together for a stronger, more equitable and prosperous Nigeria. May God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria,” she added.
