While the Arise News anchors were on air, they discussed the rise of the Village Boy Movement, and Oseni shared his views. According to him, the City Boy Movement is “delusional” if it believes money is everything in politics.
He added that during the last general election, money did not determine the outcome and predicted it would not decide future elections either.

Lawal speaks about City Boy Movement
He said:
“There is nothing wrong with it if an opposing party starts its movement as well. I believe they are also concerned about the welfare of the people. The City Boy Movement is about promoting accountability and leadership. I don’t agree with what Oseni said about them depending on money to get things done. No, that is not true. People may not understand them until they join the movement. I believe the group will bring accountability in the next election.
