Prominent businessman and socialite Obi Iyiegbu, popularly known as Obi Cubana, has officially received his appointment letter as the South-East Coordinator of the City Boy Movement, presented by Seyi Tinubu, son of President Bola Tinubu.
Obi Cubana shared the milestone on his Instagram page on Tuesday, revealing that Seyi Tinubu visited his residence on Monday night to formally hand over the certificate of appointment.
“Last night, my long-time friend and brother, Seyi Tinubu, paid me a visit at my home. We held great conversations about everything,” he wrote.
The Anambra-born entrepreneur said the meeting also provided the platform to discuss issues of national interest, emphasizing the importance of constructive engagement for achieving meaningful change.
