The Oluwo of Iwo, Oba Abdul-Rasheed Adewale Akanbi, has declared support for the re-election of President Bola Tinubu in 2027, saying his administration has been laying a solid foundation for Nigeria’s progress, greatness and prosperity.

The monarch spoke when the Osun State leadership of the CityBoy Movement paid him a courtesy visit at his palace. He praised Tinubu’s achievements across various sectors, saying the President deserved another four years to consolidate his efforts towards national development.

Oba Akanbi, who described youths as the most energetic and productive segment of the population, urged them to support the movement and mobilise for Tinubu’s re-election. He also commended the administration’s investments in youth development, infrastructure, healthcare, women’s empowerment and the student loan scheme.

He said, “Youths are Nigeria’s future and must be supported to greatness. We should be passionate about this movement. We should invest everything in it to ensure victory for our President. Let’s prioritise the re-election of our President for a second term.”

The monarch also cited the administration’s infrastructure drive, improved foreign relations and economic policies as reasons for his support, insisting that Tinubu deserved another term to consolidate his achievements.

Meanwhile, the State Director of the CityBoy Movement, Engr. Kayode Sowade, has urged newly inaugurated ward executives in Iwo Local Government Area to begin mobilising and sensitising voters ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Sowade, represented by the State Coordinator, Hon. Gafar Ajani Ayodeji, gave the charge during the inauguration of the movement’s executives across the 15 wards in Iwo. He commended Tinubu’s efforts towards building a strong economy and creating a sustainable path for Nigeria’s development.

In their separate remarks, APC senatorial candidate for Osun West, Dr Akin Ogunbiyi; House of Representatives candidate for Iwo Federal Constituency, Hon. Habeeb Ademola Adedapo; former federal lawmaker, Hon. Gafar Amere; APC Chairman in Iwo, Hon. Olaniyi Olasunkanmi James; Iwo Local Government Chairman, Hon. Kamaldeen Ajani; and the movement’s local government coordinator, Hon. Alabi Mayowa, urged the newly inaugurated executives to begin mobilisation immediately.
