The Digest:
Seyi Tinubu, son of President Bola Tinubu, arrived in Imo State on Friday for the Renewed Hope City Boy Tour, receiving a massive welcome from youths who trooped out in large numbers in Owerri. The City Boy Movement, a pro-Tinubu group led by Seyi, aims to mobilize and engage young Nigerians in support of the president. Videos showed crowds in branded "City Boy" attire chanting and surrounding vehicles to welcome Seyi and socialite Cubana Chiefpriest. Seyi paid a courtesy visit to Governor Hope Uzodimma, with clips capturing him alongside Obi Cubana and allies enthusiastically singing Tinubu's 2023 campaign song "On Your Mandate We Shall Stand." The two-day event runs March 13-14, bringing together people from across the South-East. Online reactions are mixed, with some questioning the authenticity of the support while others note that "nothing concerns the big men with tribalism that's for poor foot soldiers."
