The Director-General of the Citizenship and Leadership Training Centre, Rinsola Abiola, has been appointed as the Coordinator of the City Boy Movement in Ogun State, a role she says will be used to deepen grassroots engagement and advance the Renewed Hope agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration.
Abiola, in a statement shared via her official X account on Thursday, described her emergence as both an honour and a challenge to serve with greater commitment.
“I am deeply honoured by my appointment as Coordinator of the City Boy Movement in Ogun State,” she wrote.
The City Boy Movement is a political support group aligned with the All Progressives Congress, focused on mobilising youth and grassroots backing for President Tinubu and his administration.
According to Abiola, the movement embodies “energy, loyalty and an unshakable commitment to progressive ideals that define the APC and the Renewed Hope Administration.” She expressed appreciation for “the confidence reposed in me by the leadership of the Movement” and commended the group’s founders for what she termed “their vision and inspiration behind this epoch-making initiative.”
Outlining her agenda for the state, Abiola said she would collaborate with key stakeholders to reinforce the movement’s structures at the local level.
“As Coordinator in Ogun State, I am committed to working with other distinguished stakeholders to strengthen our grassroots structures, mobilise support across communities and advance the Renewed Hope agenda,” she stated.
She also assured supporters of her resolve to unify the movement and build on existing achievements.
“Together, we will consolidate our gains and build a stronger, more united movement; and deliver excellently for Mr President in all the ways that count, so help us God,” she added.
Political observers view the appointment as part of broader efforts by APC-affiliated groups to solidify support structures ahead of the 2027 general elections.
With Abiola now holding dual responsibilities as head of a federal training agency and as Ogun State Coordinator of the movement, expectations are high that her background in leadership development and civic engagement will be leveraged to drive the group’s objectives.
As political realignments take shape, attention will focus on how effectively the movement translates its message of loyalty and grassroots unity into measurable political impact across Ogun communities.
