The City Boy Movement (CBM) has initiated several strategic steps to expand its political and social influence in Nigeria. The movement appointed aviation entrepreneur Isaac Balami to its executive board as National Director on Special Duty. Balami, a former member of the Obidient Movement, is expected to assist in mobilizing support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s 2027 campaign, specifically targeting the North and Middle Belt regions. Following this appointment, the CBM launched broader mobilization drives. These efforts included calls for persons with disabilities to engage in the democratic process through the movement, as well as the inauguration of campus ambassadors at various tertiary institutions in Kaduna State. The movement’s student wing stated these initiatives aim to advance the interests of Nigerian youth and highlight the administration’s commitments to the education sector. Recent developments indicate further expansion of the movement’s leadership and infrastructure. Amir Kashim Shettima, son of Vice President Kashim Shettima, has emerged as the national co-patron of the CBM, marking a significant increase in his public political visibility. Additionally, in Kebbi State, Governor Nasir Idris unveiled a campaign office in Birnin Kebbi to serve as a strategic hub for advocacy and mobilization. The governor emphasized the importance of grassroots engagement to communicate the achievements of the President Bola Tinubu-led administration ahead of the 2027 general elections.
