Tinubu's City Boys Movement rallies celebrities, governors for 2027
President Tinubu's City Boys Movement, a youth mobilization platform, has expanded to include celebrities like Seyi Law, Obi Cubana, and Yul Edochie, alongside governors defecting from PDP to APC. The movement, founded by Seyi Tinubu, aims to mobilize young Igbo entrepreneurs and secure support for Tinubu's re-election bid. Governors including Umo Eno, Sheriff Oborevwori, and Duoye Diri have joined APC, bringing the total to 30 state governors backing Tinubu. Critics argue this represents elite capture, with critics like Eze Chukwuemeka Eze stating it serves privileged interests against the masses. Analyst Dr. Adetokunbo Pearse notes the movement's structure blends political loyalty with socio-economic incentives, potentially influencing 2027 elections.
