President Bola Ahmed Tinubu addressed members of the City Boy Movement at the Banquet Hall of the Presidential Villa in Abuja on Monday, informing them that they were campaigning for their own future, not for his re-election. The President expressed confidence in Nigeria's growing economy during his address.
Regarding the fuel subsidy controversy, Tinubu firmly stated that the nation would not return to the days of subsidy removal championed by Atiku Abubakar's ADC. He dismissed the notion of reversing the decision, saying, "You cannot ask Moses to go back to Egypt." The President was impressed with the movement's strategy for garnering over ten million votes for his re-election bid.
Tinubu also addressed the issue of the tenures of Immigration and Prison Commanders, extending them. He emphasized that with the ideas and support of the City Boy Movement, Nigeria would not return to its previous economic path, warning that the country could not afford to pay for the subsidy again, thus leading to bankruptcy.
