City Boy Movement slams Sahara Reporters, says Seyi Tinubu not involved in NANS activities

A pro-President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s group, City Boy Movement, has slammed a popular online media, Sahara Reporters for dragging the son of the President, Seyi Tinubu into the activities of students’ leadership.

A factional president of the National Association of the Nigerian Students had claimed that he was abducted And beaten allegedly sponsored by Seyi Tinubu, an allegation which has been denied by the son of the President.

Responding to the development, the City Boy Movement rejected the claim and said “baseless fabrications” were designed to tarnish the character of Barrister Seyi Tinubu.

The statement signed by its Director General, Hon. Francis Tosin, said: “The attention of the City Boy Movement, a foremost youth-led sociopolitical and good governance advocacy organization, has been drawn to malicious and unfounded allegations published by Sahara Reporters, claiming that our Grand Patron, Barr. Seyi Tinubu mobilized thugs to disrupt the purported inauguration of unauthorized NANS executives led by one Isa Atiku Abubakar.

“As the Director General of the City Boy Movement, I categorically reject these baseless fabrications designed to tarnish the impeccable character of Barr. Seyi Tinubu. The allegations are desperate attempts at character assassination without a shred of evidence.

“Atiku’s melodramatic claims of being “stripped naked” and “forced to make videos under duress” are nothing but theatrical performance that can not fly or garner undeserved public sympathy. This is the 21st century.

“Barr. Seyi Tinubu’s calm demeanour and principled approach to youth engagement are well-established. His commitment has always revolved around constructive dialogue, youth empowerment, and impactful development programs, and not interference in organizational affairs.

“However, we want those orchestrating this smear campaign, including Atiku and his cohorts, to be prepared to face legal consequences for their defamatory actions. The City Boy Movement will not stand idly by while opportunists attempt to use Barr. Seyi’s name for cheap publicity.

“In addendum, we encourage all Nigerian youth to disregard these attention-seeking theatrics and remain focused on constructive engagement that advances our collective progress. Atiku’s uncoordinated skit-making activities will not fly, regardless of whoever might be supporting his misguided endeavours.”
