Obi Cubana was recently named South-East Coordinator of the City Boy Movement, an APC-affiliated group campaigning for President Bola Tinubu’s re-election.
The appointment drew backlash on social media, with critics questioning his alignment with the APC administration, which they say has contributed to the country’s challenges.
In his post, Obi Cubana emphasised his spiritual focus, writing: “The MOST important assignment now is winning souls for Christ.
Our week is way too blessed and full of fruitfulness, amen! Awesome time in God’s presence as always.”
The businessman’s faith journey recently took a pivotal turn when Pastor Jerry Eze, founder of Streams of Joy International, led him to Christ.

Legit.ng earlier reported that Obi Cubana shared a video about how the past few days have been for him.
On Wednesday, January 24, Obi Cubana posted a video showing him on a phone call. According to the businessman, his phone had been buzzing non-stop throughout the week.
"Phone buzzing non-stop!! What a week 🤔," he wrote in the caption of the video he shared on his Instagram.
While Obi Cubana has remained silent on his new appointment, his latest post further stirred reactions online.
Recall that the City Boy Movement, one of the campaign groups aligned with the interest of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, appointed Obi Cubana as its Southeast coordinator. The appointment was contained in a congratulatory flyer shared via the campaign group's official Instagram page.
The appointment of the businessman is expected to add more bite to the 2027 campaign for re-election by Tinubu in the Southeast.
The group is a youth-focused political mobilization that is reportedly backed by President Bola Tinubu’s son, Seyi Tinubu.
