He also reaffirmed his commitment to integrity, community growth, and national unity under President Bola Tinubu's leadership.
"Regarding my recent appointment as South-East Coordinator of the City Boy Movement, I’m fully aware of the varied reactions it has sparked. My belief remains firm: lasting change comes from constructive engagement, not standing apart.
Service continues to guide me, and this new role does nothing to alter my commitment to integrity, community growth, and responsible leadership.
I’ve learned that influence is limited from the outside, so yes, here we are! I am a City Boy through and through, inside and out.
Our nation's leader, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, is equally a City Boy and a man of commerce. All of us need all of us in order to achieve our national aspirations and I am committed to carrying every Nigerian along in all that I do.
Let’s respect differing views, keep conversations vibrant, and stay focused on building real value," he said.
