Prominent businessman and socialite, Chief Obinna Iyiegbu, popularly known as Obi Cubana, has received Seyi Tinubu, son of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, in a visit that formally marked his induction into the City Boy Movement, signalling a new phase of his political engagement.
The visit, which took place on Tuesday, February 3, 2026, was made public through reports and a video shared on Obi Cubana’s verified Instagram page. During the meeting, Seyi Tinubu presented an appointment letter confirming Obi Cubana’s role as the South-East Coordinator, also described as Regional Director, of the pro-government, youth-driven political movement.
Beyond the formal presentation, the engagement provided an opportunity for both men to hold extensive discussions on issues of national development, leadership responsibilities, and the importance of youth participation in governance. Obi Cubana, speaking on the visit, described Seyi Tinubu as a close friend and brother, noting that their conversations focused on critical matters affecting Nigeria’s growth and future.
Addressing public reactions to his appointment, Obi Cubana said meaningful and lasting change could only be achieved through active participation in the political process rather than remaining on the sidelines. He assured that his involvement in the movement would not compromise his personal values, emphasising his continued commitment to integrity, community development and responsible leadership.
Videos from the visit circulating online captured key moments, including the formal presentation of the appointment letter and a group rendition of a campaign anthem linked to political mobilisation ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Political observers describe the development as part of wider efforts to strengthen grassroots mobilisation and deepen youth engagement in Nigeria’s political landscape, with particular emphasis on the South-East region.
