The City Boy Movement (CBM) has urged members to intensify grassroots mobilisation, targeting 10 million youth votes for President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 general election.
The call came on Monday, July 13, during the opening dinner of the 2026 CBM National Retreat at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, in the nation’s capital.
The retreat, with the theme ‘Youth. Unity. Action attracted national, zonal and state leaders, National Working Committee members and coordinators from across the federation.
CBM Patron, Seyi Tinubu, said the retreat aimed to prepare members for greater responsibilities rather than celebrate previous achievements.
He urged participants to return home as communicators, educators, mobilisers and ambassadors of hope, strengthening engagement with citizens at the grassroots.
Tinubu said many Nigerians were exposed to misinformation and incomplete narratives regarding government policies, making effective public engagement increasingly important.
“We must return to our various states prepared to explain what government policies are about and explain them clearly.
“We must listen to the concerns of our people sincerely and demonstrate through our conduct that leadership is first about service,” he said.
The patron said President Tinubu inherited severe economic and security challenges and introduced reforms to stabilise the economy and establish foundations for sustainable national growth.
He acknowledged the reforms had caused temporary hardships but maintained that encouraging signs of recovery were beginning to emerge across key sectors.
