Abiola made this known in a statement shared on her official X account on Thursday, describing her emergence as both an honour and a call to greater service.
“I am deeply honoured by my appointment as Coordinator of the City Boy Movement in Ogun State,” she wrote.
The City Boy Movement, a political support platform aligned with the All Progressives Congress, has been active in galvanising youth and grassroots backing for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his administration.
Abiola said the movement symbolises “energy, loyalty and an unshakable commitment to progressive ideals that define the APC and the Renewed Hope Administration,” adding that she appreciated “the confidence reposed in me by the leadership of the Movement.”
She also commended the leaders of the initiative for what she described as their “vision and inspiration behind this epoch-making initiative.”
Outlining her agenda for Ogun State, the DG pledged to collaborate with stakeholders across the state to reinforce the movement’s grassroots structures.
“As Coordinator in Ogun State, I am committed to working with other distinguished stakeholders to strengthen our grassroots structures, mobilise support across communities and advance the Renewed Hope agenda,” she stated.
Abiola further assured supporters of her resolve to consolidate existing gains and build unity within the fold.
“Together, we will consolidate our gains and build a stronger, more united movement; and deliver excellently for Mr. President in all the ways that count, so help us God,” she added.
Her appointment is seen by political observers as part of ongoing efforts by APC-aligned groups to consolidate support structures at the state level ahead of upcoming 2027 general elections.
With her dual role as head of the Citizenship and Leadership Training Centre and now Ogun State Coordinator of the City Boy Movement, expectations are high that Abiola will leverage her experience in leadership development and civic engagement to drive the movement’s objectives.
As the political landscape continues to evolve, stakeholders will be watching closely to see how effectively the movement translates its rhetoric of loyalty and unity into tangible grassroots impact across Ogun communities.
