Gov Oborevwori Pledges Support For City Boy Movement

Delta State governor, Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, has described the City Boy Movement (CBM) as a vibrant force contributing to political awareness and youth engagement.

The governor gave the description yesterday when he received the leadership of the movement, led by its national director-general, Hon. Francis Shoga, on a courtesy visit to the Government House, Asaba.

He commended members for their passion, organisation and commitment to youth mobilisation, urging them to sustain their momentum in promoting leadership and national development.

Oborevwori praised the movement’s visible impact across the state and beyond, noting its strong presence on various platforms and through widespread publicity campaigns.

“I must commend the passionate drive you all have exhibited since the inception of the City Boy Movement. I have watched your activities across different platforms and seen your presence across the state and even nationwide,” he said.

The governor also lauded the group for its support and promotion of President Bola Tinubu, describing him as a committed democrat and encouraged members to continue organising and mobilising young people toward meaningful participation in governance and national development.

Earlier, the national director-general of the CBM, Hon. Francis Shoga, said the visit marked not just a formality but a declaration of purpose, unity, and determination by Nigerian youths to take responsibility for their future.

Shoga commended the governor’s leadership in Delta State, particularly his efforts in creating opportunities and improving livelihoods.

He described the City CBM as a structured youth-driven platform aimed at empowering young people, nurturing leadership potential, and promoting active participation in governance.

“The future of Nigeria belongs to its young people. This movement is built on the belief that youths are not meant to be spectators but active participants in shaping the destiny of our nation,” he said.

The visit culminated in the formal inauguration of the Delta State chapter of the City Boy Movement, marking another step in its nationwide expansion.
