The national leadership of the City Boy Movement (CBM) has dismissed reports of a leadership crisis in Imo State, describing claims of a shake-up as false and misleading.
In a statement on Tuesday, the group faulted publications by Silvernews and other online platforms alleging that Prince Francis Uzor had been removed as State Coordinator and replaced with Hon. Eric Uwakwe, Special Adviser on Youth Affairs to Governor Hope Uzodimma, before a supposed reversal.
The movement made it clear that there is no ongoing or concluded plan to review the appointment of any State Coordinator in Imo State.
According to the statement, the only duly recognised and officially appointed leader of the group in the state remains Cubana Chief Priest, whose real name is Paschal Okechukwu.
CBM stressed that no new appointment has been issued or validated beyond that, adding that reports of parallel leadership structures, withdrawal of appointments or internal wrangling do not represent its official position.
“The City Boy Movement remains a structured and disciplined organisation. Any ambiguity arising from recent correspondence is a ploy to discredit the integrity of the group,” the statement read.
The movement reaffirmed that it follows clearly defined procedures in handling appointments and coordination matters, noting that any official decision would be formally communicated through authorised channels.
CBM further declared that members nationwide remain united in mobilising grassroots support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his Renewed Hope Agenda ahead of the 2027 general elections.
It urged members and the public to disregard unverified reports capable of causing confusion, reiterating its commitment to unity, transparency and organisational discipline across the country.
