In a recent video from 7:16 shared on Facebook on Tuesday, March 24, 2026, Primate Elijah Ayodele spoke about political mobilization efforts ahead of the 2027 general elections, particularly addressing emerging campaign groups and their effectiveness in supporting President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s second term ambition.
In the video, Ayodele stated, “The city boys movement is febrility; there is nothing like ‘city boys’ around this thing.” He explained that while such groups may be presented as part of a broader campaign structure, their impact and sustainability may not be as strong as expected in the political process.
According to Ayodele, the so called city boys movement, reportedly established to campaign for President Tinubu’s second term and mobilize voters ahead of the 2027 elections, may face limitations in delivering meaningful political influence. He suggested that effective political mobilization requires deeper grassroots engagement rather than relying solely on branded movements.
Ayodele further emphasized that successful election campaigns are often built on solid structures, widespread support networks, and consistent engagement with voters at various levels. He noted that political groups must demonstrate organization, reach, and credibility to make a lasting impact during elections.
The cleric added that as the 2027 elections approach, political actors and campaign organizations will need to focus on building strong, verifiable support bases that can withstand competition and public scrutiny. He stressed that appearances alone may not translate into electoral strength without substantial groundwork.
Ayodele concluded by highlighting the importance of strategy and structure in political campaigns, noting that sustainable voter mobilization depends on genuine connections with the electorate and not just the formation of movements with limited depth. Read_More…
