Philip Agbese Launches RHOLAN to Back Tinubu's 2027 Bid

On September 18, 2026, Rep. Philip Agbese, the Deputy spokesperson of the House of Representatives and a member of the Labour Party representing Ado/Okpokwu/Ogbadibo Federal Constituency of Benue, launched the Renewed Hope Labourers Network (RHOLAN). This political mobilization network is designed to support President Bola Tinubu's re-election bid in 2027.

Agbese serves as the Founder and Coordinating Director-General of RHOLAN, which aims to mobilize workers and grassroots supporters across Nigeria, targeting all 176,846 polling units. The organization will combine technology with traditional grassroots methods to connect with supporters, emphasizing belief in Tinubu's leadership rather than party affiliation.

Agbese stated that RHOLAN would focus on workers in various sectors and utilize digital tools to educate citizens on the Tinubu administration's achievements and reforms. He argued that continuity in the administration's reform program is essential for economic restructuring and social investment.
