The Lagos State chapter of the City Boy Movement has been inaugurated with a target of mobilising millions of votes across the South-West ahead of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s 2027 re-election campaign. At the inauguration held on Tuesday at Marcellina’s Place, Ikeja, the South-West Coordinator of the movement, Hon.

Olamijuwonlo Alao-Akala, said the region had pledged to deliver at least eight million votes for Tinubu in the next general election. He charged members of the newly inaugurated Lagos chapter to work as ambassadors of the proposed votes and ensure the movement reaches communities across the state. “We in the South-West promised President Bola Ahmed Tinubu nothing less than eight million votes, and you are the ambassadors of those votes,” he said.

The Lagos chapter inauguration was attended by political leaders, traditional rulers, local government chairmen, youth leaders and members of the All Progressives Congress (APC). Speaking at the event, Director-General of the City Boy Movement in Lagos and Chairman of Kosofe Local Government, Barrister Moyosore Ogunlewe, said the group’s mission extends beyond electoral mobilisation to youth empowerment and national development. “Today is far more than the inauguration of another state chapter.

It is about mobilising and empowering Nigerian youths to be more responsible and committed to the development of the country,” Ogunlewe said. He noted that young Nigerians represent a significant portion of the population but are often left out of civic participation. According to him, the movement plans to establish a grassroots structure across wards, communities and polling units while promoting national unity, discipline and youth involvement in governance.
