2027: Ogun CityBoy Movement Targets 2m Votes for Tinubu, Backs Yayi

The Special Assistant to the Ogun State Governor and stakeholder of the CityBoy Movement in Ado-Odo Constituency II, Solomon Olarewaju, has praised the group for its grassroots mobilisation aimed at securing victory for President Bola Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate in Ogun State, Senator Solomon Adeola (popularly known as Yayi), in the 2027 elections.

In a statement on Monday, Olarewaju commended the leadership and members of the movement for taking the message of the Tinubu administration to communities across the state through various programmes and mobilisation activities. 

He said the group’s growing presence at the grassroots would strengthen the APC’s structure and boost support for the party ahead of the polls.

Olarewaju reiterated the movement’s commitment to the two-million-vote target set for President Tinubu in Ogun State. He said members would intensify grassroots mobilisation across the state.

Yayi had earlier announced the target during the inauguration of the CityBoy Movement in Ogun State, urging members to mobilise at least two million votes for Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election.

“We are reiterating the commitment to deliver and mobilise over two million votes for President Tinubu in Ogun State. As members and stakeholders of the CityBoy Movement, we will continue to take the message of the administration and our political agenda to the grassroots,” Olarewaju said.

He also expressed support for Yayi’s proposed ITESIWAJU agenda, describing it as a framework focused on continuity, development and inclusive governance in Ogun State.

Olarewaju, who is also the convener of the OSA Movement, highlighted Yayi’s emphasis on youth participation. 

He noted that young people have an important role to play in political mobilisation and governance.

“YAYI has continued to demonstrate interest in youth participation and mobilisation. His engagement with young people is something we believe should be sustained because the youths have an important role to play in the political and governance process,” he added.
