A pro-Seyi Tinubu support group, “The City Boy Movement”, has expressed its disappointment and frustration with the President Bola Tinubu administration for sidelining its members.
The group, in a statement released by its spokesman, Danliman Abdullahi, said they contributed significantly to the victory of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in the 2023 presidential election.
Mr Abdullahi lamented that their members have been excluded and marginalized from the decision-making processes and government appointments at both the federal and state levels, despite their unwavering dedication and sacrifices as well as commitment of their personal resources to ensuring the emergence of Mr Tinubu as president.
Mr Abdullahi further said that their movement was established to mobilize votes and galvanize support for Mr Tinubu during the 2023 election.
He lamented that their national officials along with state leaders who played pivotal roles in the campaign have been disregarded and sidelined.
He explained that most of their group’s canvassers and champions nationwide, that were also engaged in the mobilization of grassroots supporters to vote for the APC and Mr Tinubu, are accusing the state leaders of being unreliable and deceivers.
“This neglect has left us feeling disrespected and betrayed, as our efforts to advance President Tinubu’s vision for Nigeria have been overlooked.
“We demand immediate inclusion of our group in both Federal and State Governments, as well as President Tinubu’s administration.
“Our contributions must be acknowledged, and our voices must be heard. We call upon the Chief of Staff to Mr. President to intervene and ensure that the commitments and sacrifices of all stakeholders, especially the City Boy Movement, are recognized and valued.
“While we remain steadfast in our support for President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope administration and believe in the success of ongoing reforms, we cannot ignore the disregard for our contributions.
“It is imperative that our efforts are acknowledged and rewarded accordingly. The City Boy Movement pledges to persist in our advocacy until we receive fair treatment and are given a rightful place in President Tinubu’s government,” he said.
