Prominent businessman Obi Cubana has declared his backing for President Bola Tinubu through the newly formed City Boy Movement, a youth-focused initiative aimed at educating and empowering communities for national development.
Speaking during a meeting with Governor of Enugu State, Peter Mbah, Cubana explained that the movement is not a political party but a platform primarily supporting the re-election bid of President Tinubu.
He said, “The unique thing about this movement is that it’s made up of young people, mostly businessmen, not politicians. Our goal is the betterment of our neighbors. Our people lack knowledge, and our work is mostly to educate, to give orientation, and to reorient them—to know whether they are well-acquainted with our collective path forward.”
Cubana emphasized the importance of unity and connection with the Federal Government, stating, “Today, we believe in the government of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
“We, as young professionals and successful businessmen, have come out to tell our people that we are solidly behind Mr. President and his re-election bid. Any Igbo has to be taken to the center. We cannot always be doing divisive politics.
“There must be balance, and there must be recognition of every region, because there’s a lot to be done here. We have to be connected to the gas, to the rail.”
He further highlighted the need for constructive engagement with the government for regional progress, adding, “If we are all in opposition to this government, eventually we won’t be remembered. We stand on Bola Tinubu’s mandate.
“The City Boy Movement is about the progress of Igbo land. Our people lack knowledge, and it is my responsibility to educate them. We stand solidly behind Tinubu.”
