City Boy Movement Begins Cross River Tour, Inaugurates LG Offices October 27

The City Boy Movement in Cross River State will begin a statewide tour on October 27, 2026, with the inauguration of local government offices and registration centres aimed at expanding its grassroots network ahead of the 2027 general elections.

The exercise will cover local government areas across the Northern and Central Senatorial Districts, with activities expected to include membership mobilisation, registration of new members and engagements on the policies of President Bola Tinubu’s administration and Governor Bassey Otu’s government.

In a statement announcing the programme, the movement said the tour was part of efforts to strengthen its organisational structure and establish functional offices across the state.

Northern Cross River Begins Tour

According to the itinerary, the tour will commence in Obudu, Bekwarra and Obanliku on October 27 before moving to Ogoja and Yala on October 28.

The movement will then proceed to the Central Senatorial District on October 29, visiting Ikom, Boki and Etung.

Activities will continue on October 30 in Obubra, Yakurr and Abi, completing the scheduled visits to the 11 local government areas listed for the tour.

The statement did not provide details of the programme for the remaining local government areas in the state.

Movement Targets Grassroots Mobilisation Ahead of 2027

Beyond inaugurating its local government offices, the City Boy Movement said the tour would serve as an opportunity to attract new members and encourage interested residents to register formally with the organisation.

It added that the exercise would feature engagements designed to communicate the policies and reform agenda of Tinubu’s Renewed Hope administration, alongside Otu’s People First agenda.

The movement also said the tour would help familiarise residents with the programmes and priorities of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and its candidates ahead of the 2027 elections.

The initiative comes as political groups and parties work to consolidate their grassroots structures and mobilise support ahead of the next general elections.

However, the statement did not disclose the expected number of new members or provide specific targets for the registration exercise.

City Boy Movement Calls for Participation

The movement urged its members, supporters and interested residents in the scheduled local government areas to participate actively in the exercise.

It said the establishment of functional registration centres across the state would help strengthen its presence and provide a platform for continued engagement with communities.

The statement was signed by Comrade Inyali Peter, Ph.D., the State Director of Media of the City Boy Movement in Cross River State.

The statewide tour is expected to test the movement’s capacity to expand its local structures and mobilise support for the APC and its candidates as political activities gather momentum ahead of the 2027 general elections.
