According to Fayose, the “City Boys” are a group of wealthy and influential businessmen who have openly declared support for the re-election of President Bola Tinubu.

Among those often linked to the group are nightlife entrepreneur Obi Cubana and socialite Cubana Chiefpriest, as well as other high-profile figures.

The group has faced criticism from some Nigerians who believe celebrities and businessmen should stay neutral or focus on social causes instead of openly campaigning for politicians.

Still, the businessmen have continued to show support for Tinubu, with some of them publicly celebrating his leadership and policies.

While speaking about the political divide, Fayose said the “Village Boys” represent ordinary Nigerians and grassroots supporters.

He openly declared his support for Labour Party’s Peter Obi, predicting that the former Anambra State governor would win convincingly in certain regions.

According to him, Obi will dominate the South-East and South-South zones during the election.

He said:

"I don’t agree with reducing a complex 2027 contest to 'City Boys' versus 'Village Boys.” It oversimplifies serious national issues. Support for Bola Tinubu or Peter Obi should be based on policies and performance, not social class narratives. Elections should focus on governance outcomes, not catchy political labels that deepen division."
