The Director, City Boy Movement (CBM), Oyo state branch, Hon. Olufemi Onireti, has been appointed as a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) screening committee in Bayelsa state.

This is according to a press statement by the media office of the CBM in Oyo state.

It is noted that this new national assignment reinforces his rising influence within APC national structure.

Onireti, alongside other committee members, including Engr. Fagbemi Temidayo, paid a courtesy visit to the Deputy Governor of the state, Peter Akpe, as part of preparatory activities ahead of the party’s screening exercise.

The engagement was aimed at fostering smooth coordination and ensuring a credible and seamless process.

It is further observed that the appointment comes at a significant political moment for Onireti, who has now formally joined the APC alongside his political associates, supporters, and ward structures in Ogbomoso, Oyo state.

The defection took place at the party’s zonal office in Apake, Ogbomoso, where he was warmly received by top party figures, including Senator Ayoade Adeseun, Hon Gunju Ojo, Hon Olamijuwonlo Alao-Akala, Senator Fatai Buhari (represented by Hon Adedeji Adeyemo), as well as leaders from the five local government areas in the Ogbomoso zone.

During the event Onireti pledged total commitment to the re-election of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the success of all APC candidates in the next electoral cycle.

“Our commitment is total. We are ready to work tirelessly for the party’s victory at all levels,” he declared, adding that the City Boy Movement in Oyo state remains resolute in strengthening grassroots mobilisation and expanding the party’s voter base.

Party insiders say both Onireti’s appointment to the Bayelsa screening committee and his formal entry into the APC reflect the confidence of party leadership in his capacity, influence, and organisational strength as preparations heighten ahead of future elections.
