The Special Assistant to the Ogun State Governor and stakeholder of the CityBoy Movement in Ado-Odo Constituency II, Solomon Olarewaju, has commended the group for its grassroots mobilisation and efforts to secure victory for President Bola Tinubu and the Ogun State governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Senator Solomon Adeola, popularly known as YAYI, in the 2027 elections. Olarewaju, in a statement on Monday, praised the leadership and members of the movement for taking the message of the Tinubu administration to communities across the state through various programmes and mobilisation activities. He said 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. According to him, the activities of the CityBoy Movement have also created opportunities for youths and other stakeholders to participate actively in political engagement and mobilisation. “I want to commend the CityBoy Movement in Ogun State for the tremendous efforts they are making through their programmes and grassroots mobilisation.
