…Calls on Igbo to embrace national politics
By David Onwuchekwa
The quest to draw Ndị Igbo into active participation in national politics and mobilize support for the re-election of Bola Ahmed Tinubu has taken a new dimension in Anambra State with the official launch of the City Boy Movement.
The event, held in Awka, Anambra State on Saturday, March 7, 2026, attracted dignitaries from across the South East and beyond. Among them was the South East Zonal Coordinator of the Movement, Chief Obinna Iyiegbu, popularly known as Obi Cubana.
During the ceremony, Chief Iyiegbu oversaw the inauguration of the Anambra State chapter of the Movement, with Hon. Nonso Ozoemena (Ugogbe Anam) unveiled as the State Coordinator.
Speaking at the event, the newly appointed Anambra South Zonal Coordinator, Hon. Akudo Ojiego (Ukpaka Osumenyi), pledged his commitment to taking the Movement to greater heights in the zone in order to achieve its objectives.
He emphasized the need for the Igbo to embrace and support the ideals of the group to ensure effective participation in national politics and decision-making at the centre.
Hon. Ojiego also used the opportunity to express appreciation to the National Patron of the Movement, Mr Seyi Tinubu, for initiating the group several years ago.
He further extended his gratitude to prominent supporters including Chief Emeka Okonkwo, popularly known as E-Money; Chief Cletus Uzoezie Oragwa, widely known as ZENCO; Chief Stanley Uzochukwu, STANEL; Chief Uzuakunedozi, BLAKE, among others.
The City Boy Movement was established in 2022 as a youth-driven civic mobilization and advocacy group primarily aimed at supporting the administration and policies of President Tinubu.
Led by Seyi Tinubu as its national patron, the Movement focuses on promoting youth engagement, empowerment, and civic participation across Nigeria.
With a structured presence at the national, state, and local government levels, the Movement seeks to encourage inclusive participation, effective coordination, and sustained civic involvement while demonstrating support for the policies and programmes of the Tinubu administration.
