The Abia State Chapter of the City Boy Movement has reaffirmed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu as its sole presidential candidate for the 2027 general elections, stressing the need for Abia to remain strategically aligned with the center of national decision-making.
The resolution was adopted at the Movement’s inaugural Town Hall meeting in Umuahia, attended by leaders, grassroots coordinators, youth and women representatives, and stakeholders from all 17 local government areas.

The event was led by the Movement’s Patron, Rt. Hon. Chinedum Enyinnaya Orji, and the State Director, Mayor Lucky Igbokwe. In his address, Igbokwe described the endorsement as a strategic decision based on continuity, stability, and regional inclusion.
“Development comes through participation and structure, not noise,” he said, urging members to coordinate their support from the grassroots level.
Orji emphasized disciplined engagement, unity, and peaceful mobilization, noting that Abia’s aspirations for infrastructure, jobs, and opportunities require strategic political alignment rather than confrontation. He also highlighted youth empowerment as essential for long-term peace and prosperity.
