The Abia State Chapter of the City Boy Movement has unveiled a sweeping leadership restructuring and a series of strategic appointments aimed at strengthening internal coordination, deepening grassroots engagement, and enhancing the Movement’s operational effectiveness across the state.
The announcement was made by the State Director, Mayor Lucky Igbokwe, following what he described as a comprehensive review of the Movement’s structure and activities in Abia.
As part of the reorganization, new Local Government Area (LGA) Coordinators have been appointed in key areas. In Isuikwuato LGA, Joseph Odomuko takes over as Coordinator, replacing Okechukwu Henry Okorie, while Nathanial Majesty Idam Elakwe has been appointed to the Strategy & Planning Unit, succeeding Daphne Osakwe. In Obingwa LGA, Hon. Lazarus Enyinnaya Nwamighinna replaces Sunday Hanson Amaechi as Coordinator, and in Ugwunagbo LGA, Esiaba Chinkereze takes over from Erica Godwin Ezenwoke.
All outgoing officials have been directed to ensure an immediate and seamless handover of responsibilities, including documents and operational materials, to their successors.
To reinforce coordination at the zonal level, the Movement also announced the appointment of Orji Chikezirim Monday as Contact and Mobilization Lead for Abia South Zone, alongside Chief Azu Victor, who will serve in the same capacity for Abia Central Zone. These roles are expected to enhance communication flow and strengthen grassroots mobilization across the zones.
In a move reflecting the growing influence of youth culture and the creative economy in political engagement, the Movement has established a new strategic office focused on innovation and lifestyle-driven outreach. Hon. Eke Janson C., widely known as the CEO of Indiana Lounge and “Asiwaju of Nightlife,” has been appointed as Head of Creative Economy, Tourism & Entertainment. The office will drive initiatives leveraging entertainment, tourism, and youth engagement to broaden participation and expand the Movement’s reach.
Further consolidating its structure in Abia South, the Movement confirmed the appointment of Ikedinachi Charles Isikaku as Lead, Grassroots Engagement & Field Operations, where he will oversee ward-level coordination and community-based mobilization efforts. Hon. Eze Foy Walton has also been appointed as Lead, Stakeholder Relations & Special Projects, with responsibility for managing strategic partnerships and high-level engagements critical to the Movement’s growth.
Speaking on the development, Mayor Lucky Igbokwe emphasized that the restructuring is part of a broader effort to reposition the Movement for greater impact. He noted that the changes are designed to build a more responsive, efficient, and people-oriented structure capable of delivering measurable results at all levels.
According to him, “This is about strengthening the system and ensuring we are more responsive, more effective, and closer to the people. Every appointee must justify this confidence through dedication, discipline, and results.”
With these developments, the City Boy Movement in Abia State signals a renewed focus on grassroots mobilization, youth inclusion, and strategic stakeholder engagement, as it continues to expand its footprint across the state.
