The City Boy Movement has postponed its planned inauguration in Kwara State, citing adjustments to its schedule and planning arrangements. According to the group, the decision was not a result of any disagreement with the All Progressives Congress (APC) or the state government. The Movement's Director-General, Hon. Francis Oluwatosin Shoga, signed a statement clarifying the reasons behind the postponement.
Reports had suggested that the event was boycotted or cancelled for political reasons, but the City Boy Movement has denied these claims. The group emphasized that the postponement was necessary to ensure proper coordination and effective participation of relevant stakeholders. The Movement remains committed to working with the APC structure, Kwara State Government, and other stakeholders.
The City Boy Movement is focused on grassroots mobilisation, youth engagement, and support for the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. The organisation aims to engage with community leaders, youth and women groups, and other relevant stakeholders. The new date for the Kwara State inauguration will be communicated through the Movement's official channels.
The postponement had sparked speculation and reports surrounding the event. The City Boy Movement has urged members of the public and the media to rely on official statements from the Movement regarding its activities. The group has also asked that reports attributing the postponement to a political boycott or internal disagreement be disregarded.
