The South-East Director of the City Boy Movement (CBM), Obinna Iyiegbu, on Saturday inaugurated the Anambra State chapter of the movement in Awka.
Angel Network News (ANN) reports that the newly inaugurated Anambra state chapter is led by Chief Nonso Ozoemena
Speaking during the event, Chief Iyiegbu clarified that despite its name, the City Boy Movement is not restricted to men but is an inclusive platform open to all supporters.
“This is the first time I am openly participating in a political movement. I know some people may have reservations about my involvement, but we will continue to engage our brothers and make them understand the need to support the re-election bid of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu,”
Chief Iyiegbu congratulated the newly inaugurated state executive and local government coordinators, urging them to remain committed to the objectives of the movement. According to him, their dedication would ultimately bring benefits to both the people and the state.
In his remarks, the Anambra State Director of the City Boy Movement, Chief Nonso Ozoemena, expressed appreciation to the national and zonal leadership of the movement for attending the inauguration.
Ozoemena described CBM as a decent and non-partisan movement aimed at mobilizing support for President Tinubu’s second-term bid.
“Today is a significant day in the history of Anambra State. It is a day when people across different political divides have come together for the progress of Anambra. When we visited the Governor, he received us warmly and noted that progressives must work together. If we play our part well, Anambra will attract greater support from the Federal Government,” he stated.
Also speaking, the South-East Director of Finance of the movement, Ambassador Dr. Elijah Onyeagba, emphasized the importance of synergy between Anambra State and the Federal Government. He noted that the City Boy Movement provides a strong platform to support the President and foster development.
