The Organising Secretary of the City Boy Movement in Abia State, Dr. Charles Ukeagu, has explained the circumstances surrounding his suspension and protest staged by some youths and supporters of the movement in Umuahia.
This explanation came as a leadership dispute within the Abia State chapter of the City Boy Movement escalated last Thursday when Ukeagu defended the peaceful protest by some members and supporters, while the Movement’s leadership insisted that his suspension followed due process.
Speaking on Saturday evening in Umuahia about the protest he led, Ukeagu explained that his suspension followed his advice to the State Director, Lucky Igbokwe against deleting messages from City Boy communication platforms, creation of another platform within City Boy, bringing some local government coordinators and executive into it, and suspension of members at a time when, according to him, “City Boy should be focused on expanding its membership and mobilising support for the re-election of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu”.
“Every new member into City Boy is an addition to us. So why we are now bent on wanting to remove people? It doesn’t make sense,” he added.
