He described politics as the business of critical thinkers and stressed that the City Boy Movement represents a youth-driven force within the APC, strategically positioned to work for victory in 2027 and beyond. He urged chapter coordinators to build strong grassroots structures anchored on discipline, loyalty, and unity of purpose.


Engr. Johnny commended Rt. Hon. Friday Iwok for his foresight and guidance, which he said contributed significantly to the success of the maiden meeting.
