Speaking during the event, Iyiegbu clarified that despite its name, the City Boy Movement is not restricted to men but is an inclusive platform open to all supporters.
“This is the first time I am openly participating in a political movement. I know some people may have reservations about my involvement, but we will continue to engage our brothers and make them understand the need to support the re-election bid of Bola Ahmed Tinubu,” he said.
He congratulated the newly inaugurated state executive and local government coordinators, urging them to remain committed to the objectives of the movement. According to him, their dedication would ultimately bring benefits to both the people and the state.
In his remarks, the Anambra State Director of the City Boy Movement, Chief Nonso Ozoemena, expressed appreciation to the national and zonal leadership of the movement for attending the inauguration.
He described CBM as a decent and non-partisan movement aimed at mobilizing support for President Tinubu’s second-term bid.
“Today is a significant day in the history of Anambra State. It is a day when people across different political divides have come together for the progress of Anambra. When we visited the Governor, he received us warmly and noted that progressives must work together. If we play our part well, Anambra will attract greater support from the Federal Government,” he stated.
Also speaking, the South-East Director of Finance of the movement, Ambassador Dr. Elijah Onyeagba, emphasized the importance of synergy between Anambra State and the Federal Government. He noted that the City Boy Movement provides a strong platform to support the President and foster development.
Following the inauguration, members of the movement proceeded to the office of the Anambra State Emergency Management Agency (SEMA) at Agu-Awka, where Lenten palliatives donated by the National Leader of the movement, Seyi Tinubu, were distributed to vulnerable groups.
Beneficiaries included persons living with disabilities, sickle cell support groups, motherless babies’ homes, the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN), the Justice Development and Peace Commission (JDPC), CeJUP the South East, as well as representatives from the 21 local government areas of the state.
Among dignitaries present at the event were the National Director of Media and Public Communication of the movement, Mrs. Amaka Okafor; the South-East Director of Media and Public Communication, Dr. Uche Nwora; and the APC State Secretary, Chief Obi Okpala.
