City Boy Movement's Aderinsola Abiola Defends Ogun Event

Aderinsola Abiola, the Coordinator of the City Boy Movement and Director-General of the CLTC, responded to accusations that the group rented a crowd for its recent event in Ogun State. She clarified that the gathering was an inauguration ceremony for executive members at various levels across Ogun State, not a rally.

Abiola, a former Senior Special Adviser to the President on Citizenship and Leadership, emphasized that the event marked the formal swearing-in of leaders within the movement's political structure, which spans all 236 wards in Ogun State. She stated that the movement has dedicated wings for women, students, and persons with disabilities, whose members participated in the inauguration.

Abiola asserted that the turnout was a reflection of genuine organization rather than hired attendance, urging critics to improve their own organizational efforts. The City Boy Movement is associated with President Tinubu's Renewed Hope Agenda and is mobilizing support ahead of the 2027 general elections.
