The CityBoy Movement in Ogun State has set a goal to secure 2 million votes for President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election. According to Solomon Olarewaju, Special Assistant to the Ogun State Governor and stakeholder of the movement, the group has been actively mobilizing grassroots support for Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress (APC). Olarewaju commended the movement's leadership and members for their efforts in taking the message of the Tinubu administration to communities across the state.
The CityBoy Movement was inaugurated in Ogun State with the aim of mobilizing support for Tinubu and the APC. Yayi, the Ogun State governorship candidate of the APC, had set the 2 million vote target during the inauguration, calling on members to work towards achieving it. Olarewaju reiterated the movement's commitment to delivering the target, stating that members would intensify their grassroots mobilization efforts across the state.
The movement's activities have created opportunities for youths and other stakeholders to participate actively in political engagement and mobilization. Olarewaju praised the movement's leadership for taking the message of the Tinubu administration to communities across the state through various programs and mobilization activities. He noted that the growing presence of the movement at the grassroots would strengthen the APC's structure and increase support for the party ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Olarewaju also expressed support for Yayi's proposed ITESIWAJU agenda, which focuses on continuity, development, and inclusive governance in Ogun State. He described the agenda as a framework that would drive growth and development in the state. Yayi's emphasis on youth participation was also commended by Olarewaju, who noted that young people had an important role to play in political mobilization and governance.
As preparations for the 2027 elections intensify, Olarewaju urged members and stakeholders of the CityBoy Movement to remain committed to peaceful political engagement, grassroots mobilization, and voter participation. He said the movement would continue to work towards securing support for Tinubu, Yayi, and the APC across the state. Olarewaju's recent appointment as an ECOWAS Council Youth Ambassador also underscores his commitment to expanding youth development and mobilization initiatives across West Africa.
The CityBoy Movement's efforts to mobilize support for Tinubu and the APC are seen as crucial in Ogun State, where the party is seeking to consolidate its position. With the 2027 elections approaching, the movement's ability to deliver on its 2 million vote target will be closely watched. Olarewaju's statement is a testament to the movement's determination to play a key role in shaping the state's political landscape.
The Ogun State chapter of the CityBoy Movement is one of several initiatives aimed at mobilizing support for the APC and Tinubu ahead of the 2027 elections.
