“The event, which was the first of its kind in the state, marked a major turning point in galvanising mass grassroots support for President Tinubu and significantly strengthened the President’s political base in the region.

“He has continued to implement empowerment programmes and social intervention initiatives across the North-West, reinforcing public confidence and consolidating support for President Tinubu’s administration and the Renewed Hope Agenda,” Kwaru said.
Speaking on the appointment, the National Coordinator of the City Boy Movement, Mr. Seyi Tinubu, described Dr. Dan’agundi as a dependable and result-driven political leader.
“Dr. Baffa Babba Dan’agundi is a true grassroots political leader whose dedication, organisational strength, and ability to mobilise and train supporters for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu across the North-West have been truly remarkable,” Tinubu said.

“The City Boy Movement is a political support platform established to promote the vision, leadership, and progressive ideals of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
“The Movement focuses on youth mobilisation, grassroots political participation, civic education, and community-based empowerment initiatives aimed at strengthening democracy and good governance in Nigeria.
“The appointment of Dr. Baffa Babba Dan’agundi is widely regarded as a well-deserved recognition of his loyalty, consistency, and outstanding contributions to the growth of the City Boy Movement and the continued success of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s leadership,” the statement added.
