Portable, the controversial singer, has launched an attack on celebrity bartender Cubana Chief Priest, dismissing his recent political warning to President Bola Tinubu as a “joke”.
The controversy began on Thursday when Cubana Chief Priest
warned that the continued detention of Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the
proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), would cripple Tinubu’s political
prospects in the south-east.
Kanu was sentenced to life in prison on Thursday after he
was convicted on seven counts of terrorism by a court, a verdict that has
ignited significant reactions.
In a social media post on Friday, the socialite argued that
the president “will never get up to 10,000 votes” in the region during the 2027
election.
Reacting to Cubana’s claim in a now-viral video, Portable
slammed the socialite for his “hypocrisy”.
He accused Cubana of using his access to the president to
seek “personal gain and contracts” instead of advocating for Kanu’s release.
“When you went to President Bola Tinubu’s office, you went
to fight for your own self-interest. You didn’t remember to ask him to release
your brother, Nnamdi Kanu,” he said.
He dismissed Cubana’s electoral prediction, insisting that
the south-east would support Tinubu if adequately incentivised financially.
“You fought for what you wanted first, and now you are
saying Tinubu won’t get votes from the South East? You’re joking. They will use
money to get votes from your people, and your people will take the money,” he
said.
“You went to take pictures with the president, collected
money, but forgot your brother who was in jail. Did you collect money and a
contract or not? Who told you he won’t get votes? Tinubu will be reelected.”
