CITY BOY MOVEMENT SUPPORTS PREGNANT WOMEN, STUDENTS IN EDO

The City Boy Movement has distributed support packages to pregnant women, students and vulnerable residents in Edo State through its City Boy Care Outreach programme.

The event, held on Wednesday in partnership with Pipeline Infrastructure Ltd, also supported people needing medical assistance.

The movement’s Edo coordinator, Paddy Iyamu, said the outreach aimed to improve beneficiaries’ welfare. Iyamu, who is also the APC candidate for Oredo Federal Constituency, denied that the assistance was intended to influence voters.

“This is not about elections, vote-buying or canvassing for votes,” he said.

According to him, the latest intervention focused on expectant mothers, beneficiaries of the Nigerian Education Loan Fund scheme and residents facing healthcare needs.

He said the group had previously distributed grinding machines and cash support, with further assistance planned for Christmas.

Iyamu also urged residents to support the government and pray for President Bola Tinubu and Governor Monday Okpebholo.

City Boy Care Director Omowunmi Imoukuede said the organisation intended to sustain its humanitarian work.

The Chief Medical Director of Edo Specialist Hospital, Dr Anthonia Inibokun Njoku, praised the volunteers and encouraged them to continue serving their communities.

One beneficiary, Blessing Osebor, thanked the organisers, describing the support for pregnant women as timely.

The City Boy Movement, led by Seyi Tinubu, supports the President’s administration and combines policy advocacy with community welfare activities.
