Ongoing Massive Mobilisation Will Give Clearest Victory to Tinubu — Osun CityBoy
The Osun State chapter of the CityBoy Movement on Monday stormed Ile-Ife, affirming that the ongoing massive mobilisation of youths for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s re-election bid in 2027 will give him the clearest electoral victory in Nigeria’s history.
The group also stated that the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate, Asiwaju Munirudeen Bola Oyebamiji (AMBO), stands a better chance of winning the August 15 governorship election in the state because he is capable, competent, popular, and widely accepted by the people.
The State Director of the movement, Engineer Kayode Sowade, made this known in Ile-Ife when he led members on a courtesy visit to the palace of the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, on Monday.
According to him, youths are the primary beneficiaries of the reform programmes of President Tinubu, noting that they stand to gain even more in areas such as agriculture, education, and human development, among others, if he is re-elected.
“This formidable movement is about bridging the gap between the government and the masses, particularly Nigerian youths. We have come to the palace of the Ooni of Ife to receive royal blessings. We are resolute in mobilising the electorate, especially youths, to vote massively for our party’s governorship candidate in Osun and for the re-election of President Tinubu.
We are confident that 2027 is already won because no president has matched what President Tinubu has achieved in the last two years across sectors, particularly in infrastructure, health, education, commerce, and industry.”
Also speaking, the State Coordinator of the movement, Mr Gafar Ajani Ayodeji, urged youths to take an active role in the re-election bid of President Tinubu, stating that his reforms across all sectors clearly demonstrate that young people have a leader who holds them in high esteem.
He specifically cited the National Education Loan Fund (NELFUND), noting that over 30,000 students in Osun State alone have benefitted, adding that this and other initiatives have renewed hope among Nigerian youths for a better future.
Earlier, the APC Deputy Governorship Candidate, Engineer Benjamin Adereti, stated that Asiwaju Oyebamiji is committed to running a government that will follow the same path of youth development policies as President Tinubu.
“Just like President Tinubu is doing, our government, led by Asiwaju Munirudeen Bola Oyebamiji (AMBO), will be inclusive, empowering youths, particularly in agriculture, education, capacity building, and human development.”
A member of the House of Representatives representing Ife Federal Constituency, Honourable Taofeek Ajilesoro, also noted that youth-focused policies embedded in President Tinubu’s reforms have convinced Nigerians of his determination to secure the country’s future.
Addressing the visiting team, Oba Ogunwusi offered prayers for the success of President Tinubu’s second-term ambition and urged the movement to be cautious in its engagement with the public, noting that their approach would determine their level of success.
Meanwhile, after the visit, members of the CityBoy Movement stormed markets in Ile-Ife, where they distributed souvenirs; including plastic bowls, measuring cups, and aprons to market women in the town.
