Prominent businessman and socialite Obi Iyiegbu, aka Obi Cubana, has once again endorsed President Bola Tinubu's re-election through City Boy Movement during a recent visit to Enugu state governor Peter Mbah.
Obi Cubana, who is the southeast zonal coordinator of the pro-Tinubu group, emphasised its main goal is about the progress of Igbo land via federal alignment and educating southeasterners on the reason to align with the president's re-election bid.
He stated that City Boy Movement is not a political party of a group of young people, especially businessmen, for the progress of the southeast.
“We stand on Bola Tinubu’s mandate. The City Boy Movement is not a political party, it is primary designed for the re-election bid of Mr President. The unique thing is that is about young people mostly businessmen not mostly politicians, but people who want the betterment of Igbo. Our people lack knowledge and it is our responsibility to educate them. We stand solidly behind Tinubu," he said in a video.
