I dump City Boy Movement over leadership concerns — Ex-Oyo coordinator

Ex-Coordinator of City Boy Movement, a pro-Tinubu advocacy group in Oyo State,
Ahmed Ajibola, said he resigned from the movement because his principle was incompatible with direction the leadership of the movement was going.

Popularly called General H, said his resignation should not be misinterpreted to be his withdrawal from supporting President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, stating that he resigned based on principles and.convictions.

In a statement he posted on his Instagram page, Ajibola said he will continue to support Tinubu and the administration’s Renewed Hope Agenda, but will not get involved in City Boy Movement.

He controverted rumours circulating on social media through his own Instagram on Friday that he was not removed for making derogatory remark about Seyi Tinubu as purported, but he voluntarily resigned after the State leadership of the movement was going adrift.

Ajibola described the reports as “false, malicious, and misleading”.

He dismissed report that he was dismissed, suspended or terminated from his position, insisting that he voluntarily resigned.

According to him, he.was barely one week as Coordinator of the group in Oyo State chapter as his appointment on August 1, 2026.

He said he subsequently received another appointment from the national leadership on August 5 as Coordinator, Stakeholder Engagement, South-West Structure.

Ajibola said he declined both appointments before tendering his resignation.

“If I had truly been sacked, where is the letter of dismissal, termination, or removal from office? None exists because none was ever issued,” he said.

In his resignation letter addressed to the national leadership of the movement, Ajibola said he was grateful for the opportunity to serve as Oyo State coordinator but had decided not to accept the new positions offered to him.

He said the decision was based on principle rather than bitterness

“My decision is based not on bitterness, but on principle,” he said.

Ajibola said he believed leadership should be built on “fairness, loyalty, transparency, competence, and mutual respect”.

He added that developments within the Oyo State structure had convinced him that he could no longer continue with the movement “in good conscience”.

The former coordinator said he was disappointed with the direction of the movement at the state level, particularly under its newly appointed leadership.

“Certain actions and decisions have fallen short of the values that inspired many of us to dedicate our time, energy, and resources to the growth of this movement,” he said.
