The CPA expressed confidence that Orji would bring peace, unity, and strategic direction to the Movement. Orji’s appointment comes after his defection to the All Progressives Congress (APC), which has seen growth and cohesion in Abia State.
The CPA noted that Orji had been championing President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope message across the state. The group pledged full support for Orji’s leadership, activating members to work with the City Boy Movement.
Orji combines professional expertise with deep political experience, having promoted legislative independence as Speaker. The City Boy Movement cited his Direct Touch Initiative, focusing on youth and women empowerment, as a factor in his selection.
Orji’s transition to the APC has strengthened the party’s grassroots reach in Abia State. The CPA described Orji as a “true bridge-builder and political stabiliser”.
Mayor Lucky Igbokwe welcomed Orji, saying he’s a “builder by profession and a builder of men by calling.” The City Boy Movement reaffirmed commitment to mobilising support for President Tinubu’s agenda.
Orji’s leadership is expected to deepen political engagement and accelerate organisational growth. The CPA is optimistic about Orji’s leadership, saying he’s the right man for the job. Orji is a recipient of several awards, including the Sun Public Service Award.
He is a graduate of Civil Engineering from FUTO and a Fellow of the Nigerian Society of Engineers. The City Boy Movement believes Orji’s emergence signals a new dawn for the organisation.
The group is confident that Orji’s leadership will strengthen its presence in the region. The CPA looks forward to working with Orji to achieve shared objectives.
