The [City Boy Movement](https://tribuneonlineng.com/city-boy-movement- targets-200000-members-in-ekiti-statewide-drive/) in [Oyo State](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oyo_State) declared on Monday that it will intensify grassroots mobilisation across all 33 local government areas to secure the re‑election of [President Bola Tinubu](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bola_Tinubu) and the election of other [All Progressives Congress](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_Progressives_Congress) (APC) candidates in the 2027 polls.
**What is the movement’s primary objective?**
Olumide Alli, speaking on behalf of state director Hon. Femi Onireti at the inauguration of the local and state executive councils in Ibadan, called on members to set aside personal ambitions and work for the collective interest of the movement. He reiterated that the core aim is to return Tinubu to the presidency and to win APC tickets at every elective level in 2027.
**Key points highlighted during the address**
- The event took place on Monday in Ibadan, marking the formal launch of the council’s activities.
- Hon. Femi Onireti’s role as state director was underscored, with Alli acting as his spokesperson.
- Alli praised the Tinubu administration, stating that it has “touched all sectors of the economy” and continued projects inherited from previous governments, some of which are already completed while others remain in progress.
- He urged Nigerians to allow Tinubu to “continue in office in 2027” to sustain the ongoing development work.
- Chief Moses Alake Adeyemo, the state chairman of the APC, appealed to the City Boy Movement to leverage its numerical strength across Oyo’s local governments, emphasizing the youth demographic as a decisive factor.
**Why is youth mobilisation crucial?**
Adeyemo noted that Nigeria’s population is dominated by young people, making them the largest voting bloc. He argued that maximising this demographic advantage would give the APC an edge over rival parties, which he claimed could not match the quality of APC candidates.
**What is the call to action for movement members?**
Both speakers stressed teamwork, urging members to channel their energies into coordinated strategies that will secure victory in the 2027 elections. The movement’s success, they argued, hinges on disciplined, collective effort rather than isolated individual pursuits.
