CITY BOY MOVEMENT IN THE SOUTH-EAST: VANITY PROJECT OR POLITICAL FORCE?

Описание: The political conversation in the South-East is shifting, and at the center of the debate is the City Boy Movement (CBM).

On this edition of the AM Show, we sit down with Dr. Emana Duke Ambrose-Amawhe, National Chief Press Secretary and Official Spokesperson of the City Boy Movement, to unpack the issues, controversies, and questions surrounding the group’s presence in the region.

What exactly is the City Boy Movement?
Is it a structured political mobilization network?
A youth-driven advocacy platform?
Or simply a campaign-era phenomenon built around optics and loyalty?

The name itself sparks curiosity. What informed “City Boy”? What values and culture does CBM claim to represent? And how does it position itself within the broader framework of the APC, especially in a region where the party continues to battle perception challenges?

This conversation also tackles difficult questions head-on:

Is the movement built on influence and visibility rather than substance?

What is the relationship between CBM and RTIFN, represented by actor Yul Edochie?

Does the movement dissolve after elections, or is it here for long-term political engagement?

What criteria determine membership, state directors, and regional coordinators?

What is the place of women within the structure?

We also address trending controversies, from questions raised in Owerri about the political influence of Cubana Chief Priest, to allegations of an attack on a City Boy vehicle. Fact or fake news?

And perhaps the most pressing concern:
Can a movement that mobilised campaign buses overnight channel that same energy into schools, hospitals, and economic empowerment in the South-East?

Dr. Ambrose-Amawhe responds to critics who allege that those aligning with CBM are motivated by protection, influence, or access — and clarifies whether the movement classifies itself as a Civil Society Organisation or purely a political mobilization platform.

This is not just about politics. It is about structure, identity, loyalty, and the future of organized political engagement in the South-East.

Watch the full conversation and decide for yourself.
