“We gathered in solidarity with our brother, Seyi Tinubu and our brothers from the South East Zonal leadership, for the South East Youth Tour.”
Ekpenyong said the movement is gradually transforming into a broader youth platform driven by aspiration and resilience.
“What is becoming increasingly clear is that the City Boy Movement is no longer just a political platform; it is steadily evolving into a youth-driven movement that speaks to aspiration, resilience, and the determination of young Nigerians to take ownership of the nation’s future,” he said.

The lawmaker says the movement aims to build a coalition that will support the Tinubu-Shettima ticket.
“Our mandate is to build a broad-based, people-powered coalition that will support the re-election of the Tinubu-Shettima ticket,” he said.
“This is not simply about continuity for its own sake; it is about ensuring that the reforms already underway are given the time, stability, and collective backing required to yield their full benefits.”
Ekpenyong congratulated the south-east zonal leadership of the movement for hosting the youth tour.
