National Leader of the Progressive People’s Resolution (PPR), Engr. Ubong Idemudo has been named National Patron of the Remi Tinubu Support Organization (RETSO), a move that is expected to shape Nigeria’s political and social landscape.

The announcement was made by RETSO’s National Coordinator, Hon. Yusi Buba, during a high-profile event in Abuja, attended by political leaders, civil society advocates, and grassroots mobilizers from across the country.

Speaking at the event, Hon. Buba described the appointment as “a deliberate and strategic move to deepen the organization’s commitment to transformational leadership and inclusive governance”.

Also present at the event was Hajiya Aisha Sokoto, representative of the RETSO Board of Trustees, who emphasized the symbolic significance of the appointment, expressing hope that Engr. Idemudo will make them proud.

Princess Nelly Akpan, RETSO’s National Welfare Officer, expressed excitement over the appointment while commending Engr. Idemudo’s long-standing advocacy for grassroots empowerment and youth development.

“This appointment reaffirms RETSO’s commitment to working with leaders who genuinely connect with the people”, she stressed.

Meanwhile, the appointment is a strategic partnership between two influential platforms.

It underscores a shared commitment to inclusive governance, youth empowerment, and national progress.

RETSO, a prominent advocacy group aligned with the ideals of Nigeria’s First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, views the appointment as a significant step in enhancing its leadership by involving individuals known for their integrity and far-reaching influence.

Engr. Idemudo, recognized for his work in grassroots mobilization and public policy advocacy, accepts the honour with “deep humility and renewed resolve.”

In his address, he reiterated his commitment to RETSO’s goals and lauded Senator Tinubu’s leadership in promoting gender equality, youth inclusion, and democratic values.

“This appointment is not just a personal honour—it is a call to action,” Idemudo states. “It’s an opportunity to unite our people and move forward with a vision for a Nigeria that works for all.”

Political analysts suggest that the collaboration between RETSO and PPR—regarded as one of Sub-Saharan Africa’s largest socio-political organizations—could significantly enhance civic engagement, particularly among young Nigerians and marginalized communities.

A statement from the Office of Engr. Idemudo’s Personal Media Aide describes the appointment as “an endorsement of principled leadership, people-centered governance, and visionary collaboration.”

This move marks a new phase for RETSO, which aims to expand its influence across the country while strengthening the legacy of Senator Oluremi Tinubu’s leadership.

Stakeholders across the political spectrum have welcomed the development, noting that it will enhance democratic participation and ensure continuity in Nigeria’s evolving political landscape.
