According to him, structures built on conviction rather than convenience often endure beyond election cycles, adding that organisations committed to political education and strategic mobilisation occupy a critical place in democratic consolidation.
The Director further disclosed that the movement has continued to build support networks across local governments through coordinated advocacy, grassroots sensitisation and strategic mobilisation ahead of future political engagements.
He also sought the Governor’s support towards the forthcoming inauguration of the movement in the state, including operational coordination and the provision of office accommodation to strengthen its institutional presence.
Political mobilisation gained fresh momentum in Lokoja on Wednesday as the Kogi State chapter of the City Boy Movement held a strategic engagement with Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo, culminating in the conferment of the title of Patron of the Movement on the Governor.
Far beyond ceremonial exchanges, the meeting unfolded as a convergence of political conviction, grassroots strategy and ideological alignment around the continuity of the Renewed Hope agenda championed by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Receiving members of the movement at the Government House, Governor Ododo described loyalty to President Tinubu’s vision as a natural responsibility for every progressive political structure in Kogi State, stressing that the state remains firmly connected to the aspirations and developmental direction of the current administration at the centre.
The Governor assured the delegation of his unreserved support for the movement, applauding its consistency in political mobilisation, public engagement and sustained advocacy around the achievements of both the Federal Government and the Kogi State administration.

In his remarks, the Director of the City Boy Movement Kogi expressed appreciation to Governor Ododo for creating what he described as a politically enabling atmosphere where young people and support groups can organise, engage and contribute meaningfully to governance conversations.
He noted that long before the current wave of endorsements and alignments, the movement had remained active across communities, consistently projecting the leadership philosophy of President Tinubu while equally amplifying the developmental trajectory unfolding in Kogi State under Governor Ododo.

The symbolic conferment of the Patron title on Governor Ododo formed the defining moment of the engagement, reflecting the Movement’s confidence in his leadership disposition, political accessibility and unwavering alignment with the progressive ideals associated with President Tinubu.
