The City Boy Movement announces the appointment of aviation entrepreneur and political mobiliser Isaac Balami as an executive board member and National Director on Special Duty. Both reports say the appointment follows Balami’s recent departure from the Obidient Movement and is intended to strengthen the organisation’s strategy and political outreach.

Nigerian Eye adds further detail, saying the appointment is presented by City Boy Movement officials Francis Oluwatosin Shoga and Tosin Odufuwa, with confirmation also attributed to Seyi Tinubu. It also reports Balami has been rallying support groups toward the All Progressives Congress (APC) and highlights his influence among youth and grassroots groups in Northern Nigeria and the Middle Belt. It notes he previously served as Deputy Campaign Manager for the Obi/Datti campaign in 2023 and frames the role as part of efforts connected to the 2027 general elections. Daily Post Nigeria focuses more generally on the new roles and Balami’s mobilisation activities, without the additional electoral and APC specifics.

Both outlets agree the City Boy Movement is expanding its leadership team, describing the executive board as the organisation’s highest decision-making body.
