VeryDarkMan Explodes On Cubana Chief Priest, Labels Him A “Snake” Over Tinubu Support And Nnamdi Kanu Betrayal

VeryDarkMan has called out Cubana Chief Priest, accusing the celebrity barman of exploiting political connections to boost his own relevance. In a video circulating online, the social commentator claimed Cubana Chief Priest has quietly switched sides, moving from publicly aligning with the agitation around detained IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu to openly supporting President Bola Tinubu’s City Boy Movement. According to VeryDarkMan, the move raises serious questions about Cubana Chief Priest’s sincerity, especially after earlier claims that he would only mobilize votes if Kanu was released. He argued that backing the Tinubu movement directly contradicts those earlier assurances and suggests a calculated attempt to benefit politically while abandoning the people he once claimed to stand for. Pushing the challenge further, VeryDarkMan dared Cubana Chief Priest to prove his real influence by ensuring Nnamdi Kanu’s release before the end of February. He warned that failure to do so would confirm that the nightlife entrepreneur merely used the situation for personal gain. His words: “You used it to get a lot of clout so that your people will think that you’re fighting for them. Now the agenda is already clear. Nnamdi Kanu is still in prison. That 10 thousand votes wey you say them no go get if Nnamdi Kanu no dey outside, you don dey help them now with the City Boy Movement. You wan go gather am from your people. You wan go use your small and little influence take get am. I can’t respect you anymore, to be very honest. The only thing that you can tell me now, Cubana Chief Priest, is that this thing wey you dey do by end of February Nnamdi Kanu go commot. If Nnamdi Kanu no Comot by the end of February, you’re a snake and a terrible person. If him no comot, you’re just a typical user that was using his people.” BREAKING!!! VDM DISMANTLED CUBANA CHIEF PRIEST… He called him an hypocrite for playing a double standard. His position when MNK was sentenced is different from where he is standing today! pic.twitter.com/5OJgXFS445 — BUCOS (@TENIBEGILOJU202) February 11, 2026

My Lecture at Dangote University Cancelled Last Minute – Amaechi

Former Minister of Transportation, Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, has reacted to the last-minute cancellation of a lecture he was scheduled to deliver at Aliko Dangote University of Science and Technology in Kano. Amaechi told journalists in Kano on Wednesday evening that he was informed of the cancellation just two hours before the programme was due to begin. According to reports by RFI Hausa, he had already arrived in the state for the event when the notice was conveyed to him. The former Rivers State governor explained that the university management had initially approved his visit following an invitation from student leaders who requested that he address them. “I was informed only two hours before the programme that the lecture had been cancelled,” Amaechi said, expressing surprise at the sudden decision. He stated that the university authorities cited security concerns as the reason for calling off the event. Amaechi added that, as a law-abiding citizen, he chose not to proceed with the programme once it was officially cancelled. However, he alleged that the development was politically motivated, claiming that the Tinubu administration was apprehensive of opposition voices. According to him, the federal government is “afraid” and has begun taking measures against opposition figures. The university has yet to issue a detailed public statement beyond the cited security concerns.

Former Kaduna State governor, Nasir El-Rufai, has said he believes he could be arrested in the near future.

Labour Party Rules Out Merger Talks Ahead of 2027 Elections

The Labour Party (LP) has firmly stated that it is not in any merger discussions with other political parties as the 2027 general elections approach. Ken Asogwa, Special Adviser to Nenadi Usman, the Interim National Chairman of the Labour Party, clarified the party’s stance during an interview on Arise Television on Tuesday. Asogwa confirmed that the Labour Party intends to stand alone in the upcoming elections, just as it did in the 2023 polls. “In 2027, we hope to contest that election as a standalone political party,” Asogwa affirmed. “We participated in the 2023 election as a standalone political party, and Nigerians trusted us with their votes.” The party garnered more than 6 million votes in 2023, a figure that Asogwa described as a “shocker” to the nation. However, he acknowledged that certain issues prevented the party from clinching victory. “Some of those bottlenecks are being corrected now,” he said, adding, “So we believe that when those things are properly fixed, Labour Party will be in a position in the coming elections.” The Labour Party’s position signals its confidence in its independence as it prepares for the 2027 elections, with the goal of building on the momentum from 2023.

Police Arrest Omoyele Sowore Again After Court Appearance In Abuja

90% of Lawmakers Would Lose Seats If Elections Were Transparent – Sowore

Human rights activist and politician, Omoyele Sowore, has claimed that 90 per cent of Nigerian lawmakers and other elected officials would not retain their positions if elections in the country were conducted transparently. Sowore made the statement while reacting to the controversy surrounding recent amendments to the Electoral Act, particularly provisions relating to the electronic transmission of election results. On Tuesday, February 10, the Senate amended the Electoral Act to permit the electronic transmission of election results — a reform widely demanded by many Nigerians. However, lawmakers retained a clause allowing manual collation of results in areas where internet connectivity fails, a provision that has drawn criticism from several stakeholders. Speaking on Channels Television on Wednesday, February 11, Sowore argued that many lawmakers are hesitant to fully embrace electoral reforms because transparent elections would threaten their political survival. According to him, the justification that poor network coverage necessitates manual collation is merely an excuse. “This excuse that there is no network in some states is just another balloon air on the part of these guys. They don’t want transparent elections because if elections are transparent, 90 per cent of them will not make it to the National Assembly and of course the presidency and other elected positions — they know that,” Sowore said. The debate over electronic transmission and manual collation continues to generate reactions across the country, as stakeholders weigh concerns about transparency, logistics, and electoral integrity.

EPL: Tottenham Hotspur Sack Thomas Frank as Manager

Tottenham Hotspur have parted ways with head coach Thomas Frank after less than eight months in charge, according to Sky Sports. The decision comes just a day after Spurs suffered a 2–1 home defeat to Newcastle United — a result that further deepened the club’s struggles this season. The North London side currently sit 16th on the Premier League table, only five points above the relegation zone, raising serious concerns about their top-flight status. Tottenham have managed just two wins in their last 17 league matches, a run of form that ultimately sealed Frank’s fate. During his brief spell at the club, the Danish manager won only 13 of his 38 matches in charge. The loss to Newcastle also left him with the lowest Premier League win percentage of any Spurs manager in the competition’s history — just 26.9 per cent. The club is now expected to move swiftly in appointing a replacement as they look to steer their season back on track and avoid being dragged deeper into a relegation battle. Further updates on Tottenham’s next managerial appointment are expected in the coming days.

Cubana Chief Priest Declares He Will Work Against Peter Obi in 2027 Election

Cubana Chief Priest Declares He Will Work Against Peter Obi in 2027 Election

Celebrity socialite and businessman, Pascal Okechukwu, popularly known as Cubana Chief Priest, has revealed that he intends to work against Peter Obi in the 2027 presidential election. The nightlife entrepreneur, who openly supported the Labour Party candidate during the 2023 general elections, made his new political stance known in a tense exchange with followers on Instagram. Questions about his recent political alignment — particularly his involvement with the pro-Tinubu “City Boy Movement” — triggered reactions from fans who sought clarity on his apparent shift. When one follower directly asked whether he truly planned to oppose Obi in the next election cycle, Cubana Chief Priest responded bluntly. “Yes ooo hope say no be crime cuz I worked for Obi last election even as special adviser to an APC governor,” he wrote. His comment quickly sparked backlash, with critics referencing his past issues with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). Some suggested that aligning with the current administration would not necessarily shield him from scrutiny. Responding dismissively, the socialite downplayed concerns about the anti-graft agency, boasting that being invited by the EFCC is almost a badge of honor. “If you never go EFCC for Naija you never make am,” he said. The debate later shifted to discussions about the South-East’s political unity during the 2023 election. While some commenters argued that Obi might have performed better with stronger backing from influential figures in the region, Cubana Chief Priest fired back, urging critics to support whoever they choose and questioning what tangible development such sentiments had brought to the South-East. His remarks have since stirred conversations online, highlighting the growing political realignments and debates ahead of the 2027 general elections.
