Seyi Tinubu's City Boy Movement Targets Youth Mobilization

The City Boy Movement, led by Seyi Tinubu, son of President Bola Tinubu, is rapidly expanding its youth mobilization efforts across Nigeria. The movement is built around the Renew Hope Agenda and recently held its inaugural national retreat in Abuja, where it formally inaugurated a national work committee and state directors.

The initiative aims to establish a permanent structure that reaches all 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory, organizing down to zonal, local government, and ward levels. The goal is to mobilize 10 million youth votes ahead of the 2027 elections.

High-profile figures, including entrepreneur Obi Cubana and Cubana Chief Priest, are involved in the movement, which seeks to engage younger urban demographics in political participation. The City Boy Movement also plans to run free medical outreach, food drives, and campus visits to advocate for government programs, including the federal student loan scheme and skill artisan programs.

The movement positions itself as a buffer against policies that frustrate citizens, aiming to redirect youth frustrations into civic engagement.
