Agbese Criticizes Exclusion from Tinubu's Campaign Council

Hon. Philip Agbese, the federal lawmaker representing Ado/Okpokwu/Ogbadibo Federal Constituency and leader of the Renewed Hope Labourers Network, publicly condemned the exclusion of his group from the inauguration of President Bola Tinubu's Presidential Campaign Council, which took place at the Presidential Villa on October 14. Agbese expressed frustration over the decision to invite figures such as Nyesom Wike, the governor of Rivers State, and Ademola Adeleke, the governor of Osun State, both from opposition backgrounds, while omitting his network, which has formally allied with the All Progressives Congress (APC) and is actively supporting the President's re-election.

He called on the APC's national leadership to rectify this situation, emphasizing that his concerns stem from the need to acknowledge the thousands of supporters within his network rather than personal grievances. Agbese's remarks indicate a growing concern about the recognition of allied platforms within the President's re-election efforts at this critical early stage.
