2027: City Boy Movement Rallies Over 3,000 Supporters in Ogun Central for Tinubu, Yayi

The Ogun Central Coordinator of the City Boy Movement, Ambassador Lekan Egbetola Olalekan, has urged South-West residents to return President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to office in 2027, citing student loans, road infrastructure, empowerment programmes and grassroots development as reasons for supporting his administration’s continuity.

Egbetola also called for support for the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate in Ogun State, Senator Olamilekan Adeola, popularly known as Yayi, and other party candidates ahead of the 2027 general elections.

He made the appeal on Thursday at a mega rally organised by the Obafemi Owode Local Government Chapter of the City Boy Movement.

Our correspondent reports that the rally, held at All Saints School, Owode Egba, attracted over 3,000 supporters, including residents and APC members in the community.

While speaking at the event, Egbetola urged coordinators of the movement across Ogun State to emulate the Obafemi Owode chapter by taking the initiative in organising grassroots engagement programmes to strengthen political mobilisation.

He described the rally as an example for other local government coordinators, stressing the need for them to demonstrate commitment and take the lead in engaging residents.

“This is a particular example for other local government coordinators to see the need and take the lead,” he said.

He added that the turnout should encourage other coordinators and their representatives to intensify mobilisation efforts in their respective local government areas.

Earlier, Ojeleye said Obafemi Owode was the first among Ogun State’s 20 local government areas to organise a mega rally of this nature.

She explained that the initiative was aimed at educating residents, particularly youths, about the forthcoming elections and encouraging their participation in the political process.

Ojeleye said her decision to organise the rally was informed by her assessment of the Tinubu administration’s performance and her desire to bring information about its programmes and the movement’s empowerment initiatives closer to residents.

“When I sat down and looked at everything, I told my leaders that in my local government, I wanted to do this to tell my people and our youth about our progress,” she said.

She added that the rally was also designed to strengthen the movement’s ongoing registration exercise and mobilise grassroots support for Tinubu, Yayi and other APC candidates.

On the preparations, she acknowledged the support of the movement’s leadership, ward coordinators, women leaders and other grassroots supporters, who assisted in mobilising residents across towns and communities.

“When I presented the idea to my leaders, they fully embraced it and supported us to go into the towns, houses and villages to mobilise the youths,” she said.

While expressing satisfaction with the turnout, Ojeleye urged residents to participate actively in the forthcoming elections.

Also speaking, the Deputy State Coordinator of the City Boy Movement, Amb. Habeeb Whyte, expressed confidence in the movement’s ability to secure victory for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and other APC candidates in the 2027 general elections.

Whyte, who commended the impressive turnout at the rally, urged members and supporters to intensify grassroots mobilisation by taking the message of the party to every community and encouraging eligible voters to participate in the elections.

He stressed that every polling unit mattered in the quest to secure victory, urging residents not to stay at home on election day.

Whyte therefore called on supporters to mobilise votes for Tinubu, Senator Yayi and other APC candidates, expressing optimism that the party would retain power at the state and federal levels.

Dignitaries at the rally included Alhaji Mustafa Eruobodo, former Executive Chairman of Obafemi Owode Local Government; Ambassador Habeeb Whyte, Deputy State Coordinator of the City Boy Movement; Comrade Ajibola Akinwande, Director of Media and Publicity, Comrade Salaudeen Muhammad, Secretary of the Ogun Central Senatorial Coordination, Alhaja Ogunyemi Fatimah Oluwayemisi, Director of Welfare, City Boy Movement, Ogun Central, and Hon. Gbenro Olasoju, Ward Chairman, Obada Oko.
