Obi Cubana, a Nigerian businessman and nightlife entrepreneur, has been appointed as the South East Zonal Coordinator for the City Boy Movement. This movement is dedicated to mobilizing young Nigerians for political activities, such as voter registration drives and community outreach, reportedly backed by President Bola Tinubu’s son, Seyi Tinubu.
The appointment was announced on Instagram, describing Obi Cubana as a “nation-builder” who will strengthen the bridge between grassroots empowerment, economic growth, and national progress, aligning with President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda. Obi Cubana’s influence and vision are expected to play a pivotal role in the movement’s activities in the South East region.
As the founder of the Cubana Group, Obi Cubana has established himself as a prominent figure in Nigeria’s entertainment and hospitality industry. His appointment is seen as a strategic move to leverage his massive influence and connect with young Nigerians in the South East.
The City Boy Movement is not an official arm of the All Progressives Congress (APC), but it often aligns with the party’s goals and objectives. Obi Cubana’s appointment is expected to boost the movement’s efforts in mobilizing support for the APC in the South East region.
Reactions to Obi Cubana’s appointment have been mixed, with some expressing skepticism about his involvement in politics, while others welcome his efforts to contribute to national development. As the South East Zonal Coordinator, Obi Cubana is expected to play a key role in shaping the movement’s agenda and promoting youth engagement in politics.
