Former Kogi State Commissioner for Chieftaincy Affairs, Hon. Abubakar Ohere, has been appointed the new Kogi State Coordinator of Relax Tinubu Is Fixing Nigeria (RTIFN), replacing Hon. Idris David Zacharias, who represents Idah Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives.
Ohere’s appointment is part of efforts to strengthen RTIFN’s grassroots mobilisation and political engagement across Kogi State.
According to the movement, his appointment was based on his experience in grassroots mobilisation, political engagement and extensive networks across the state.
Also appointed is Hon. Idris Oando, who will serve as Deputy Kogi State Coordinator, while the Chairman of Okehi Local Government Area, Hon. Amoka Eneji Monday, was appointed Director of Liaison, North Central.
Presenting the appointment letters at the RTIFN office in Maitama, Abuja, the Director-General of the movement, Amb. Ahmed Bala, urged the newly appointed officials to justify the confidence reposed in them by strengthening the movement’s structures across Kogi State and the North Central region.
The changes come amid a recent political realignment involving Zacharias, who has moved to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and is seeking another term in the House of Representatives.
The presentation ceremony was witnessed by former Kogi State Deputy Governor, Chief Edward David Onoja; veteran actor Zack Orji; Hajia Aishat Omade; and other national and state officials of RTIFN.
Meanwhile, the movement has fixed October 12, 2026, for the official inauguration of the new Kogi State RTIFN leadership, alongside a Town Hall and Stakeholders’ Engagement in Lokoja.
The event is expected to bring together RTIFN leaders, political stakeholders, community leaders, coordinators, youth and women groups, and other grassroots stakeholders as the movement begins a new phase of engagement across the state.
The new leadership is expected to commence consultations with stakeholders and grassroots structures across Kogi State’s 21 local government areas while strengthening RTIFN’s coordination and presence in the North Central region.
