The City Boy Movement in Cross River State has inaugurated three Local Government Area (LGA) chapters in the Southern Senatorial District as part of efforts to deepen its grassroots structure and expand its mobilisation network across the state.
The inauguration, which covered Akamkpa, Bakassi and Calabar South Local Government Areas, forms part of the Movement’s statewide grassroots engagement and organizational expansion ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The exercise brought together party stakeholders, political leaders, youth groups and supporters of the Movement, who expressed their commitment to strengthening its presence at the grassroots and advancing its political objectives.
Speaking during the exercise, the State Director of the Movement in the state, Eyo Ita Okon said the inauguration of the four chapters represented another step in the Movement’s determination to build a strong, inclusive and functional grassroots network across the state.
He noted that the Movement was not merely interested in establishing structures in the various local government areas but in building an organized network capable of engaging, mobilizing support and communicating the achievements and policy direction of the Tinubu administration.
According to him, the Movement would continue to work with stakeholders at all levels to promote the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Tinubu and the People’s First Agenda of Governor Bassey Otu, while mobilizing support for the All Progressives Congress (APC) ahead of the 2027 elections.
He urged the newly inaugurated chapter executives to see their appointments as a responsibility to the Movement and the people they represent, stressing the need for discipline, inclusiveness, loyalty and sustained engagement with their respective communities.
The State Director further emphasized that the strength of any political organization lies not simply in the number of its members or the structures it establishes, but in its ability to remain connected to the people, understand their concerns and translate political support into meaningful participation.
The inauguration of the four chapters brings the Movement’s LGA chapter to 16, out of the 18 local government areas in the state.
