Onuigbo Backs Tinubu’s 2027 Re-election
The former member of the House of Representatives for Umuahia North/Umuahia South/Ikwuano Federal Constituency, Hon Sam Onuigbo, has expressed strong support for the re-election of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu come 2027, and listed key achievements of the current administration.
He spoke during the inauguration of Local Government Coordinators, their assistants, and executives of the City Boy Movement, in Abia State, covering the six LGAs of Abia Central Senatorial Zone.
Hon Onuigbo pointed to major policy strides by the Tinubu’s administration, including the establishment of the Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND), the unification of the foreign exchange system, and increased financial allocations to state governments. He, however, emphasized that governors must ensure these resources translate into tangible development at the grassroots, stressing that governance should have a direct and visible impact on the people.
He also praised the City Boy Movement for creating a well structured platform aimed at mobilising and empowering young people across Abia State and beyond.
The event was led by the State Director of the movement, Lucky Igbokwe, who described the inauguration as a significant step toward fostering unity, patriotism, and a shared commitment to national development.
Igbokwe reiterated that the movement is rooted in grassroots mobilisation and youth engagement, with a focus on building momentum ahead of the 2027 general elections. He urged the newly inaugurated officials to view their roles as a responsibility to serve, encouraging them to create inclusive structures within their LGAs and wards and actively engage their communities.
Earlier, the Zonal Coordinator, Chief Uzo, defined a “City Boy” as an individual who has attained success through diligence and perseverance, noting that the movement represents hope for a better future.
The State Director also called on traditional rulers, community leaders, and political stakeholders to support the initiative, highlighting the importance of collective effort in driving sustainable development.
The inauguration attracted key party figures and stakeholders, including APC chairmen from Umuahia North and Umuahia South, alongside other officials of the movement. The event concluded with a renewed sense of purpose among members as the organisation continues to expand its reach across Abia State.
