CITY BOY MOVEMENT
OFFICIAL STATEMENT
The City Boy Movement has taken note of a video currently in circulation accompanied by commentary attempting to portray our Movement as elitist and government-sponsored. We consider it necessary to restate the facts and, more importantly, reaffirm who we are.
City Boy Movement was founded in 2022 as a grassroots civic and political support platform built on voluntary participation, democratic engagement, and national development. It is not a government-created initiative and has never operated as one.
We are not defined by class, status, or wealth. Our supporters reflect the full spectrum of Nigeria - traders, artisans, students, farmers, professionals, entrepreneurs, and successful business leaders alike. Prosperity does not invalidate patriotism, and success should not be mischaracterised as exclusion. Civic participation is a right that belongs to every Nigerian, regardless of economic standing.
The phrase “City Boy,” popularly associated with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, represents resilience, bold thinking, courage, and transformative leadership. Within our Movement, it signifies a mindset committed to progress , not a social category or class distinction.
Our vision is clear: to mobilise citizens, particularly young Nigerians, toward constructive democratic engagement, enterprise, and national cohesion.
Our mission is focused: to amplify issue-based dialogue, support reform-driven leadership, and foster unity across communities.
We reject attempts to frame Nigeria through artificial divisions. Progress is built through collaboration - across regions, professions, and social backgrounds.
City Boy Movement remains steadfast in its commitment to unity, enterprise, responsible democratic participation, and national development.
We will continue to focus on substance over spectacle, and nation-building over narrative manipulation.
Signed
National Secretariat

IBB’S CONFESSION: A NEEDLESS REVELATION
THAT DIMINISHES HIS LEGACY
By Sufyan Lawal Kabo
Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida (IBB) has completely lost the long-standing respect I once had for him. His recent confession regarding the annulment of the June 12, 1993, election raises more questions than answers and, in my view, does little to rehabilitate his image. Here’s why:
1. A Pointless Confession at the Wrong Time
What purpose does his admission serve at this critical moment in Nigeria’s history? The country is grappling with its worst economic crisis in decades, and Nigerians are more concerned with survival than rehashing past wounds. The nation has endured enough—from the civil war to years of misgovernance by corrupt leaders. This revelation adds no value to our present challenges.
2. A Betrayal of a Trusted Ally
IBB's claim that Abacha was responsible for the annulment reeks of betrayal. This was the same Abacha who, by IBB’s own admission, saved his life multiple times and prevented his government from being overthrown. Has he considered how Abacha’s family would feel about this posthumous blame? Integrity demands consistency, but this sudden shift in narrative paints IBB as someone willing to rewrite history to suit personal convenience.
3. A Tarnished Image of Leadership
With this confession, IBB has drastically reduced himself in the eyes of many who once held him in high regard, like my humble self. His statement now suggests that, much like Tunde Idiagbon was to Buhari, Abacha was the real mastermind and enforcer behind many of IBB’s major decisions. This revelation diminishes his perceived political acumen and makes one question whether he was truly in control of his own government.
4. A Misguided Use of Wealth and Influence
Instead of using his influence for meaningful development, IBB accepted a ₦10 billion donation to build a private library, benefiting only a select few. This is particularly painful considering that the northern region, including his home state of Niger, suffers from a staggering number of out-of-school children, poor healthcare facilities, and lack of basic infrastructure. Imagine the impact if those billions were used to build boreholes, improve schools, or provide healthcare for the masses. If he had chosen to invest in these critical areas, he might have regained some respect.
In the end, IBB’s confession does not rewrite history in his favor. Instead, it exposes the contradictions in his leadership, weakens his legacy, and reminds Nigerians why the country remains stuck in a cycle of failed governance.

Today, I visited the Kuje custodial centre and the Fire Service Academy in Sheda, Kwali Local Council of the FCT.
The ongoing renovation of the Kuje custodial facility demonstrates the commitment of the #RenewedHope government to improve the conditions of both staff and inmates while the planned remodeling of the Fire Academy will transform the facility into the best of its kind in West Africa.
In good times and tough times, through thick and thin, I stand with you Sir.
His Excellency @officialABAT
No matter the obstacles they lay for you, you will succeed.
Nigeria shall be great under you.

Oseni Rufai must be gnashing his teeth in agony right now, because the way Naira is winning, it may land on 900/1dollar soon
That arrogant sadist was expecting 1 dollar to equal to 2,000 Naira. I feel his pains
Nigeria must succeed and Rufai Oseni and his cohorts must crumble
