The CityBoy Movement, Ogun State Chapter, has distanced itself from a group operating under the name “CityBoy Likeminds,” declaring that the group is neither affiliated with nor recognised by the movement at any level.
In a statement issued by the General Secretary of the CityBoy Movement, Ogun State Chapter, Comrade Adeyemi Samson Ajasa, the chapter said the clarification became necessary to prevent confusion and misinformation among its members, supporters and the general public.
Ajasa stated that the group was not part of the recognised CityBoy Movement structure at the national, zonal, state, local government, ward or polling-unit levels.
“The leadership of the CityBoy Movement, Ogun State Chapter, wishes to unequivocally distance itself from a group operating under the name ‘CityBoy Likeminds.
“We state categorically that the said group is neither affiliated with nor recognised by the CityBoy Movement at the national, zonal, state, local government, ward or polling-unit levels,” he stated.
The group explained that there was only one officially recognised CityBoy Movement, with an established organisational structure extending from the National Executive to the zonal, state, local government, ward and polling-unit levels.
“For the avoidance of doubt, there is only one recognised CityBoy Movement with a well-established organisational structure spanning from the National Executive to the Zonal, State, Local Government, Ward and Polling Unit levels.
“Any group or association operating outside this officially recognised structure should not be mistaken as representing the ideals, leadership or activities of the CityBoy Movement.”
The Ogun chapter cautioned the leaders and promoters of the “CityBoy Likeminds” group to discontinue activities capable of creating confusion, spreading misinformation or distracting members and supporters across the state.
“We therefore caution the leaders and promoters of the so-called CityBoy Likeminds to immediately desist from actions capable of creating unnecessary confusion, misinformation or distraction among our loyal members and supporters across Ogun State,” the statement added.
Ajasa said the CityBoy Movement remained committed to grassroots mobilisation, political enlightenment and strategic engagement across Ogun State in support of the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
He noted that the movement was strengthening its structures and intensifying political activities across the state’s 20 local government areas, 236 wards and polling units.
