The Oyo State City Boys: From Togetherness to Division — Who Has Walked Away, and Who Remains?
There was a time when the City Boy Movement in Oyo State appeared united, with members working together towards a common political goal. But today, questions are being raised about the unity of the group, following developments that have reportedly created divisions within its ranks.
What happened to the City Boys of yesterday? Who has left the movement in frustration, who remains committed, and who is still standing firmly behind the group's leadership?
These are questions worth asking as political activities and alignments continue to evolve in Oyo State.
From Unity to Internal Disagreements
The City Boy Movement has been associated with efforts to mobilise support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his political ambitions. In Oyo State, the movement has also expressed its commitment to strengthening the All Progressives Congress (APC) and expanding its grassroots presence.
However, recent developments suggest that maintaining unity within the organisation may not be as straightforward as it once appeared.
In August 2026, reports emerged concerning the departure of Ahmed Ajibola, popularly known as General H, who had served as the movement's Oyo State coordinator.
According to reports by Vanguard and other Nigerian news organisations, Ajibola announced his resignation, citing concerns about the direction of the movement's state structure and disagreements over its leadership.
The circumstances surrounding his departure generated conflicting accounts. While the movement reportedly announced his removal following disciplinary proceedings over alleged misconduct, Ajibola maintained that he voluntarily resigned after declining alternative appointments. He also denied allegations that he had made derogatory remarks about the movement's national leadership.
Importantly, Ajibola stated that leaving the movement did not mean withdrawing his support for President Tinubu or the Renewed Hope Agenda.
His departure raises a broader question: can disagreements over internal leadership cause members to abandon an organisation even when they continue to support its overall political objectives?
Who Has Left, and Who Remains?
Following these developments, attention has shifted to other members who may have become dissatisfied with the movement's direction.
Are there other prominent City Boys who have quietly walked away? Have some members withdrawn their commitment without making public announcements? Or are those who remain determined to resolve their differences and continue working together?
At this stage, it would be unfair to label individuals as having left the movement without reliable confirmation. Nevertheless, the questions surrounding the group's internal cohesion deserve public attention.
The movement's leadership, meanwhile, has continued its mobilisation efforts. Reports published in August 2026 identified Hon. Adewale Oladiti as the new Oyo State coordinator following the leadership changes.
Whether the new leadership can restore confidence, strengthen relationships and maintain the commitment of members will be an important test for the organisation.
The Big Question for Oyo State City Boys
Political movements are often tested not when everything is going smoothly, but when disagreements emerge and members begin to question the direction of their organisation.
For the City Boy Movement in Oyo State, the challenge is whether its members can maintain unity despite differences over leadership, appointments and internal administration.
But beyond the official statements and leadership changes, there is another question that deserves an answer from those who know the movement best.
Where are the City Boys who built the movement in Oyo State? Who has left, who is still around, and who has decided to remain despite the disagreements?
