  "account": "The Renewed Hope Ambassadors (RHA) have urged Minister Wike to back the All Progressive Congress (APC) structures prior to the 2027 presidential election, according to a statement released on Thursday. The RHA representatives, representing various geopolitical zones, welcomed support for President Tinubu's re-election bid from Nigerians across political lines. However, they cautioned that such support should not weaken the APC, its candidates, or the party's established structures.\n\nThe group expressed solidarity with the Progressive Governors Forum (PGF), emphasizing that APC governors had made their commitment to President Tinubu and the party's candidates at all levels abundantly clear. The RHA highlighted concerns over the emerging Rainbow Coalition, warning that parallel political structures could create confusion and compete with existing APC grassroots organizations.\n\nThe statement clarified that Minister Wike is free to mobilize support for President Tinubu, noting that the coalition is distinct from the APC and aims to gather support for the President across political parties. However, the RHA cautioned that if this mobilization undermines APC candidates or establishes competing centers of political authority in states and local communities, it would be reasonable for APC leaders and governors to draw a clear line.",
