Prominent businessman and socialite, Obi Iyiegbu, popularly known as Obi Cubana, has received appointment letter as the South-East Coordinator of the City Boy Movement from Seyi Tinubu, son of President Bola Tinubu.
Iyiegbu disclosed this in a post made on Tuesday via his official Instagram page, revealing that Seyi Tinubu visited him at his residence on Monday night to present the certificate of appointment.
The Anambra-born entrepreneur said the visit also provided an opportunity for both men to hold discussions on various national issues.
“Last night, my long-time friend and brother, Seyi Tinubu, paid me a visit at my home. We held great conversations about everything,” he stated.
Addressing the mixed reactions that trailed his appointment, Obi Cubana defended his decision to accept the role, insisting that meaningful change could only be achieved through active engagement rather than isolation.

The nightlife entrepreneur emphasised that his new position would not compromise his commitment to integrity, community development, and responsible leadership.
“I’ve learned that influence is limited from the outside—so yes, here we are! I am a City Boy through and through, inside and out,” he declared.
Iyiegbu described President Tinubu as “a City Boy and a man of commerce,” expressing his determination to ensure inclusivity in discharging his duties.
“All of us need all of us in order to achieve our national aspirations, and I am committed to carrying every Nigerian along in all that I do,” he added.

“Let’s respect differing views, keep conversations vibrant, and stay focused on building real value. The moment is now—we move!” he stated.
He thanked his supporters for their goodwill and pledged to work towards a more inclusive future.
