RHGN gives 5,000 smartphones to polling booth army in S’East

From Stanley Uzoaru, Owerri

The Southeast campaign structure of President Bola Tinubu has intensified its mobilisation drive ahead of the 2027 general elections, with the Deputy National Leader of the Renewed Hope for Greater Nigeria (RHGN), Mazi Franklin Ngoforo, distributing 5,000 smartphones and other smart devices to members of the newly established Booth Army across the region.

Ngoforo, who presented the devices in Owerri on Friday, described the gesture as his personal contribution to the Tinubu re-election campaign.

He said the initiative was designed to strengthen grassroots mobilisation, improve communication and ensure effective coordination of voters before and during Election Day. According to him, the deployment of the devices would equip the Booth Army with the necessary tools to drive an organised and technology-supported campaign across the five Southeast states.

The RHGN leader declared that the organisation would leave no stone unturned in ensuring that the Southeast makes a strong political statement at the polls in support of President Tinubu.

He said the distribution represents a strategic investment in grassroots engagement and an indication of the seriousness with which the region’s campaign machinery is approaching the 2027 elections.

Ngoforo maintained that the Tinubu administration had made significant interventions in the Southeast, particularly in addressing the insecurity that once ravaged parts of the region and extending infrastructural development and economic empowerment initiatives to Ndigbo.

He argued that the region had benefited from the administration’s development agenda just like other parts of the country, adding that these achievements should inform the political choices of the electorate in 2027.

He expressed confidence that a second term for President Tinubu would further strengthen the integration of the Southeast into the national political and economic mainstream, insisting that sustained engagement with the Federal Government would help consign the marginalisation of Ndigbo to history.

He urged the Booth Army to deploy the devices effectively in building an extensive grassroots network capable of translating the region’s support for Tinubu into votes at the ballot.
