Prominent businessman and socialite, Obi Iyiegbu, popularly known as Obi Cubana, has confirmed his appointment as the South-East Coordinator of the City Boy Movement, following the presentation of his appointment letter by Seyi Tinubu, son of President Bola Tinubu.

Iyiegbu disclosed the development in a post shared on his official Instagram page on Tuesday, saying Seyi Tinubu visited his residence on Monday night to formally hand over the certificate of appointment.

“Last night, my long-time friend and brother, Seyi Tinubu, paid me a visit at my home. We held great conversations about everything,” he wrote.

The Anambra-born entrepreneur said the meeting also afforded both men the opportunity to discuss issues of national interest.

Reacting to the mixed public reaction to his new role, Iyiegbu defended his decision to accept the appointment, stressing that change could only be achieved through participation and engagement.

“I’m fully aware of the varied reactions it has sparked. My belief remains firm: lasting change comes from constructive engagement, not standing apart,” he said.

Declaring his loyalty to the movement, the nightlife entrepreneur added:

“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.”

He further assured that his appointment would not undermine his personal values, community work or leadership principles.

According to him, President Bola Tinubu is “a City Boy and a man of commerce,” noting that his focus in the new role would be to promote inclusiveness.

“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,” Iyiegbu stated.

He also called for tolerance and mutual respect among Nigerians, urging citizens to prioritise national development.

“Let’s respect differing views, keep conversations vibrant, and stay focused on building real value. The moment is now — we move!” he said.

Iyiegbu thanked his supporters for their goodwill and expressed commitment to working towards a more inclusive future.

Are you talking about those who use hawking of gala and their 2*2 shop to buy up your ancestral lands?

Respect that gala hawking and 2*2 shop, it has done a lot of wonders in your region.

SmartPolician:
I hope he gets all the connection and money he can get from the role because he knows that Tinubu will struggle to get 15% votes in the South East. Congratulations to him!

Zionmdde:
That's his choice, his business
Wisdom demands that a good business man whose business can be shut down by the government at anytime should be in bed with government.

He is protecting his daily bread and nobody should come for him

Let everybody face what favours them

But woe unto those who are benefitting only suffering from this government and yet supporting tinubu because of whatever rubbish reason they have

Owombakara:
Obi Cubana remember Newton's third law of motion

Actions and reactions are equal and opposite.

They'll definitely be consequences tomorrow.
