Okiro, who was welcomed on Friday by the Abia State Director of the CityBoy Movement, Lucky Igbokwe, described the initiative as an important platform for promoting grassroots mobilisation and encouraging greater political participation.
He also reaffirmed his support for President Bola Tinubu, urging members and supporters of the movement to remain focused on advancing the President's political agenda ahead of the 2027 general elections.
"I urge members of this movement to remain united, work together, and exercise their democratic rights in supporting President Tinubu's re-election bid in 2027," Okiro said.
