He explained that the movement has not issued or validated any new appointment beyond Chiefpriest's current role.

“The only officially recognised and duly appointed figure in Imo remains Mr Pascal Okechukwu,” Shoga stated.

He added that claims suggesting parallel leadership, withdrawal of appointments, or internal leadership disputes do not represent the official position of the organisation.

The City Boy Movement’s Director-General emphasised that the group operates with clear procedures and due process, especially on matters relating to appointments and state coordination.

Beyond addressing the leadership rumours, the statement also highlighted the movement’s political focus.

Shoga said members of the City Boy Movement remain united in their mission of strengthening grassroots mobilisation and advancing the Renewed Hope Agenda ahead of the 2027 general elections.
