The Delta State chapter of the City Boy Movement has pledged to deliver 2.7 million votes to the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the forthcoming elections, as part of a broader nationwide target of 10 million votes in support of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
The commitment was made during the inauguration of the State Executive of the movement and the unveiling of its secretariat at the Dome Events Centre in Asaba, the Delta State capital.
The newly inaugurated leadership includes; Hon. Karo Goru as State Director, Engr. Alex Omaghomi as Deputy Director, Hon. Innocent Esewezie as State Coordinator, Hon. Shedrach Agediga as Deputy State Coordinator, Engr. Michael Anoka as State Leader, and Comrade Ugagaoghene Ogheneyole as State Secretary.
Governor Sheriff Oborevwori, who was represented by the Speaker of the Delta State House of Assembly, Rt Hon Emomotimi Guwor, described the movement as a strong and growing force.
He expressed confidence in its capacity, noting that its structure and membership demonstrated seriousness of purpose.
He urged members to take the message of government policies and programmes to every part of the state, emphasizing that many of the reforms introduced by the Federal Government were still misunderstood by the public.
Guwor encouraged the group to enlighten citizens on key policies such as tax reforms, subsidy removal, and youth-focused initiatives, stressing that members of the movement serve as ambassadors not only for the President but for all APC candidates.
He added that the success of the movement would translate into electoral gains for the party across all levels.
In their welcome remarks, State Director, Hon. Karo Goru and State Coordinator, Hon. Innocent Esewezie reaffirmed the group’s commitment to mobilising grassroots support and ensuring that Delta contributes significantly to the national target of 10 million votes.
Delivering a keynote address, the Commissioner for Works (Rural Roads) and Public Information, Mr. Charles Aniagwu, described the inauguration as historic, noting that young people must see themselves as active participants in governance.
He said Nigeria was undergoing critical economic reforms under President Bola Tinubu, which, though challenging, were necessary for long-term stability.
