Why Ajibola resigned
According to the letter, Ajibola was removed from his position as Oyo State coordinator and later offered two new roles within the organisation.
The appointments included Coordinator, Directorate Affairs, at the state level and Coordinator, Stakeholder Engagement, for the South-West region.
However, he declined both positions.
Ajibola stated that his decision was based on principle rather than personal resentment.
He said leadership should be built on fairness, loyalty, transparency, competence and mutual respect, adding that recent events within the state structure no longer reflected those values.
While praising the national leadership, Ajibola expressed disappointment with the direction of the movement in Oyo State.
He specifically referenced concerns about the conduct and decisions of the newly appointed state leadership.
The politician noted that some actions had fallen short of the ideals that originally inspired members to commit their time and resources to the movement.
Tinubu support remains intact
Despite his resignation, Ajibola stressed that his loyalty to President Bola Tinubu remains unchanged.
He declared continued support for the Renewed Hope Agenda and vowed to contribute towards the president’s re-election campaign in 2027.
The City Boy Movement, associated with Seyi Tinubu, was established to mobilise support for President Tinubu and promote his political agenda across Nigeria.
