Nigerian entrepreneur and socialite, Obinna Iyiegbu, on Monday explained that his growing involvement in politics is motivated by a desire to promote inclusive governance and meaningful citizen participation, dismissing claims that it is driven by personal ambition.
Obi Cubana, a known supporter of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, said his role in political discourse is focused on bridging the gap between government and citizens, particularly among young people and across Nigeria’s diverse regions.
“I have built my career as a private citizen through hard work, entrepreneurship, and strategic investments. I have never held public office nor benefited from government patronage,” he said. “My involvement in political discourse is purely driven by a desire to create platforms for meaningful engagement especially between young people and the older generation, and across Nigeria’s diverse regions.”
He highlighted the disconnect he has observed between government policies and citizens’ expectations, noting that even well-intentioned policies often fail to make a tangible impact due to poor communication or limited understanding of public needs.
