Cubana Chief Priest has once again called on Igbo people to
support President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 general elections.
Speaking at a recent City Boy Movement (CBM) rally in Imo
state, the socialite admitted that he did not back Tinubu in the 2023 election
because he wanted to identify as an “Igbo boy” supporting Peter Obi.
He described that decision as a “mistake” and referred to
his past stance as “foolish,” stating that he has now reconsidered his
position.
Cubana emphasised that “Igbo people are looking for a fair
stake in Nigeria’s political arrangement and must be strategic with their votes
moving forward”.
“At the past election, I did not support Tinubu because I
wanted to be an Igbo boy by supporting Peter Obi and I made some careless
mistakes. I was a fool then but not anymore now. We are just looking for a fair
share in this government,” he said.
“We Igbos are the people that was defeated during the war
and it has not been easy for us in Nigeria since then. That is why we want to
be smart this time around so we can get what we want. We do not want to lose
again and we will never wastes our votes again.
“That is why we are standing with City Boy Movement and
Tinubu. Also they would not tell you that Seyi Tinubu married an Igbo girl. He
is our brother and our own.”
In February, Cubana had called on the south-east to back
Tinubu in the forthcoming elections, adding that he is hopeful that the
president will hand over to an Igbo man at the end of his tenure.
The socialite was appointed as the Imo director of CBM, a
youth-oriented support group for Tinubu’s re-election campaign.
