2023: Pro-Tinubu groups pass vote of confidence on BoT chairman


The National Working Committee of CityBoy Movement and National Coalition Group (NCG), the support groups working for the success of the All Progressive Congress (APC) presidential flag bearer, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his running mate, Kashim Shettima, in the 2023 general elections, have passed a vote of confidence in their Board of Trustees (BoT) Chairman, Hon. Francis Shoga.

According to a statement made available to Blueprint at the weekend by the Director of Media and Publicity of the CityBoy-NCG, Aminat Aminu-Isah, the vote of confidence was passed on behalf of the National Working Committee of the groups by the chairman of the organising committee of the Cityboy-NCG, Hon. Olushayo Adeyemi, at an appraisal and evaluation meeting which held, Friday in Abuja.

The statement said the meeting was to examine the success and shortfalls of the concert organised by the group on September 28, to show support and usher in the electioneering campaigns which commenced on the same day.

According to the duo of Olushayo Adeyemi and the co-chairman of the organising committee, Dr. Hassan Sadiq, it became necessary as Hon. Shoga has demonstrated capacity and commitment that would sustain the tempo of activities already lined up towards the actualisation of the Tinubu/Shettima presidency in 2023.

“We were all at the Unity Fountain last week Thursday. I must tell you that we couldn’t have had it better than we did.

“The concert held in support of our principal was nothing but a success. For us to do more with regards to strategic plans, we must ensure that we have someone who is capable to take charge as the BOT Chairman, and you will all agree with me that Shoga is the man for the job,” Hon. Olushayo said.

In support of the move, the statement said Dr Bako Mohammed, national chairman of NCG and other NWC members agreed with the submission of the chairman of the organising committee of the concert, adding that the price for greatness is responsibility.

They called on the Presidential Campaign Council to give more responsibility to the group, saying “they have shown commitment, capacity and dedication to do more.”

The CityBoy-NCG consists of professionals, artisans and students across the 774 Local Government Areas (LGA), wards and polling units across the country.
