The City Boy Movement in Cross River State has deepened its grassroots network with the inauguration of new local government area (LGA) chapters in the Southern Senatorial District, bringing its presence to 16 of the state’s 18 council areas.

The latest expansion, which took place across Akamkpa, Bakassi, and Calabar South, is part of a broader statewide mobilisation drive aimed at strengthening the group’s organizational structures ahead of the 2027 general elections. The exercise drew a wide cross-section of party stakeholders, political leaders, youth groups, and supporters who pledged their backing for the Movement’s grassroots objectives.

Addressing attendees during the inauguration, the Cross River State Director of the Movement, Eyo Ita Okon, described the milestone as a deliberate push to establish a functional and inclusive political network across the state.

Okon stressed that the group’s mission goes beyond merely setting up local offices. Instead, he noted, the focus is on building an active structure capable of engaging communities directly and communicating the policies and achievements of the current administration.

“We will continue to collaborate with stakeholders at all levels to promote President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda and Governor Bassey Otu’s People’s First Agenda, while rallying solid support for the All Progressives Congress (APC) ahead of 2027,” Okon said.

Charging the newly inaugurated chapter executives, the State Director urged them to view their roles as a call to service rather than mere titles. He called for discipline, loyalty, and sustained community engagement, noting that the true strength of any political group lies not in sheer membership numbers, but in its ability to stay connected to the people and translate grassroots support into meaningful civic participation.
