“Only a City Boy Can Brand a City”: Edo State Pledges Full Support for President Tinubu’s Second Term


​-By Ruben Mario Brodrick 

BENIN CITY – In a high-profile meeting at the Edo State Government House, the City Boy Movement received a formal endorsement today as they paid a courtesy visit to discuss the future of urban development and national leadership.

​The visit served as a platform for a major political declaration: Edo State has officially thrown its weight behind President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for a second term, citing a belief in the "Renewed Hope" agenda.

​A Vision of Structure and Purpose

​During the reception, the leadership of the movement was praised for its organizational discipline. The discussion centered on the idea that transforming Nigeria’s urban centers requires a specific pedigree of leadership—one that understands the heartbeat of the city.

​“Only a city boy can truly build and brand a city. What I see here is a movement that is coordinated, organized, and driven by leadership. That alone gives me confidence that Nigeria’s future is in safe hands.”

Empowering the "Drivers of Today"

​The meeting highlighted a shift in how youth involvement is viewed in the state. Rather than being relegated to "leaders of tomorrow," the youth were recognized as the primary catalysts for current national transformation. Key takeaways from the address included:

  • ​Empowerment: Moving beyond rhetoric to provide tangible resources for young leaders.
  • ​Organization: Encouraging structured movements like the City Boy Movement to create political impact.
  • ​Platform: Ensuring the youth have a seat at the table to lead today’s governance.

​The Road to a Second Term

​The highlight of the visit was the definitive stance on the upcoming political cycle. By endorsing President Tinubu for a second term, the state leadership signaled a commitment to continuity, stability, and the long-term vision of the current administration.

​“The future is structured. The future is youth. The future is now,” the statement concluded, reinforcing a partnership aimed at building a stronger, more inclusive Nigeria.
