Cubana Chief Priest, the socialite, has issued a cautionary message to President Bola Tinubu following the life sentenced handed to Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
Kanu was convicted on seven counts of terrorism by a court
on Thursday, a verdict that has ignited significant reactions.
In a detailed Instagram post, Cubana Chief Priest described
Kanu’s continued detention as a “direct threat to Tinubu’s political fortunes
in the south-east,” arguing that it would ruin any chance of electoral success
in the region during the 2027 polls.
The celebrity bartender framed Kanu as the “supreme leader”
of the south-east, arguing that his imprisonment has caused “so much setback”
and deep resentment among the local population.
He also launched a scathing attack on the region’s political
leaders, claiming that ministers and governors lack both the capacity and the
courage to win public support for the president.
“President @officialasiwajubat, as long as MNK remains in
jail, you cannot and will never get up to 10,000 votes in the South East come
2027. I will not lie to you, Papa. As a friend of your government, I have no
reason to whitewash you,” he wrote.
“MNK is the supreme leader of the South East. His detention
has caused us so much setback, and I am surprised that all your useless
ministers from the South East can’t even tell you the truth because they are
all cowards.
“None of them has the capacity to do anything that will make
the people love and respect you. As for the governors, they will disappoint you
because they have nothing meaningful to present to the people. Only MNK’s
release can save you.”
The socialite, who met with Tinubu at the presidential villa
in May, also addressed Seyi Tinubu, the president’s son, dismissing the
political value of those in their circle.
He claimed that many of the president’s allies from the
region cannot even safely visit their hometowns due to the public anger over
Kanu’s detention, accusing them of being more interested in personal gains like
“land allocations” than in genuinely helping the administration.
“@seyitinubu, all those people on that table with you at
Delborough Hotel the other day are bags of deceit, including me. They can’t do
anything for you. Most of them cannot even visit their hometowns because of
MNK’s detention, so how can they help you? They only want land allocations to
develop and sell. You know I don’t need anything from you,” he added.
“The Villa is like a hotel — a few more days and checkout
time will reach. Only MNK can guarantee you real votes from the South East.
“Look out for Gov. Alex Otti — he can genuinely convince the
people. I was surprised when you turned down his invitation to commission his
projects in Abia, where MNK hails from. Asiwaju sent the incompetent minister,
a failure and a betrayal to the South East, to represent him.
“A man who has done nothing for us. To worsen it, the weak
Deputy Speaker will not stop attacking our favoured Governor Otti.”
He reiterated his warning to Tinubu, saying “Appeal this
judgment and get it right, or prepare to check out of the Villa come 2027. The
South East belongs to MNK. These are the words of the gods. Ignore them at your
own risk.”
