Hon. Mark Okpanachi Ogah, Director of the City Boy Movement, Kogi State, extends his sincere appreciation to everyone who celebrated, honoured, and identified with him on the occasion of his birthday.
The overwhelming show of goodwill, support, and recognition from across various chapters, stakeholders, friends, and well-wishers is deeply valued and profoundly appreciated.
From those who visited, sent gifts, made calls, shared messages, and offered prayers, every gesture reflected a powerful sense of unity, loyalty, and shared purpose.
Hon. Ogah noted that such an outpouring of support goes beyond celebration, serving as a strong reminder that what is being built is not just a movement, but a formidable structure driven by vision, discipline, and collective commitment.
He emphasized that this journey is not about any one individual, but about strategic growth, collective progress, and the continuous empowerment of the people.
The support received, he stated, has further strengthened his resolve to remain focused, consistent, and fully committed to the responsibility entrusted to him.
He expressed special gratitude to his family, particularly his wife and children, whose unwavering support, sacrifice, and understanding remain his greatest source of strength and foundation.
Hon. Ogah also acknowledged friends, associates, and media platforms whose recognition and amplification of his work continue to play an invaluable role in shaping impact and visibility.
He extended heartfelt appreciation to the leadership that inspires the movement, including Mr. Seyi Tinubu for his commitment to youth development and national progress, as well as to His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, for providing leadership that continues to drive a shared national vision.
He further recognized the Kogi State Government and all political stakeholders whose contributions continue to strengthen governance and development within the state.
To the entire City Boy Movement family across Kogi State and beyond, Hon. Ogah commended their loyalty, discipline, and unity, describing them as the backbone of the movement’s strength and continued growth.
He noted that the widespread celebrations and messages received from various chapters were not only encouraging but deeply moving, reinforcing a heightened sense of responsibility.
In the spirit of Easter, he called on Nigerians to embrace the values of sacrifice, renewal, and hope, stressing that even in challenging times, the promise of restoration remains certain.
He urged citizens to remain steadfast in faith, united in purpose, and committed to building a peaceful and progressive nation.
However, he expressed deep sorrow over the recent tragic attacks in Jos, particularly in Angwa Rukuba. Hon. Ogah extended his heartfelt condolences to all affected families and communities, while expressing personal grief for his cousin, Mr. Joseph Akor, who lost his 15 years old son alongside other innocent lives.
He described the loss as painful and unacceptable, emphasizing that no family should have to endure such tragedy.
He called for a renewed national commitment to peace, security, and the protection of lives, urging all stakeholders to work collectively to end the cycle of violence and bloodshed across the country.
Hon. Ogah concluded by praying for the eternal rest of the departed souls, comfort for grieving families, and a renewed national consciousness anchored on peace, compassion, unity, and humanity.
He urged all members and stakeholders to remain aligned, disciplined, and focused on the bigger vision, emphasizing that together, greater milestones will be achieved.
