  "account": "Philip Agbese, Deputy Spokesman of the House of Representatives and member of the Labour Party, has launched a new political mobilisation network called the Renewed Hope Labourers Network (RHOLAN). The organisation aims to support President Bola Tinubu's bid for a second term in the 2027 general elections. RHOLAN will mobilise workers and grassroots supporters across Nigeria's 176,846 polling units, focusing on building support for Tinubu beyond conventional party structures. Agbese, founder and coordinating director-general of the network, stated that the initiative is driven by belief in Tinubu's economic reform agenda rather than partisan considerations. RHOLAN will combine technology with traditional grassroots mobilisation to establish direct links between the presidency and voters at the polling-unit level. The organisation will use data and digital platforms to identify, engage, and organise supporters while communicating the achievements of the Tinubu administration.",
