Rabiu Backs Sophie Uzodimma’s Appointment As City Boy Movement Deputy Women Leader

The national women leader of the City Boy Movement, Hajia Ummusalma Rabiu, has welcomed the appointment of Sophie Uzodimma as the group’s deputy national women leader.

She described it as a bold step toward strengthening women’s participation in Nigerian politics.

Ummusalma added the appointment points to the movement’s commitment to inclusion, leadership and results.

“Sophie Uzodimma is capable and committed. Her appointment will strengthen our structure and energise women across Nigeria,” she said.

She said the development had sent a clear message that women remain central to the movement’s growth and political strategy ahead of the 2027 general elections.

The national women’s leader also commended the grand patron, Barr. Seyi Tinubu and the director-general, Francis Oluwatosin Shoga, for providing purposeful leadership and aligning the movement with the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

According to her, the movement’s leadership has continued to build a strong bridge between government policies and grassroots mobilisation.

Ummusalma expressed confidence that Uzodimma will mobilise women across the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), deepen grassroots engagement and expand support for the All Progressives Congress (APC) ahead of 2027.

She called on members of the City Boy Movement nationwide to rally behind the new deputy national women leader and work in unity to advance the movement’s objectives.
