Cubana Chief Priest Warns Tinubu That South-East Votes Are Impossible Without Nnamdi Kanu’s Release

Cubana Chief Priest has delivered a blistering message to President Bola Tinubu after the court sentenced Nnamdi Kanu to life imprisonment, warning that the president’s political future in the South-East is in serious danger if Kanu remains behind bars. In his post, he declared: “As long as MNK remains in jail you cannot & will never get up to 10,000 votes in SouthEast come 2027. MNK is the supreme leader of SouthEast. His detention has caused us so much setback.” He criticised South-East ministers serving in Tinubu’s administration, describing them as people who lack courage and genuine influence. “They are all cowards… None of them has capacity. They can’t even go to their hometowns because of MNK detention, so how can they help you?” he wrote. Cubana Chief Priest said many of those claiming to support the president are only doing so to gain personal favours. Referring to a recent gathering, he wrote: “All those people on that table with you at Delbourogh Hotel are just bags of deceit. They only want lands to develop and sell. They can’t do anything for you.” He also reminded Tinubu of his own loyalty but warned that the political consequences of keeping Kanu in prison could be disastrous. “Villa na hotel… your check-out time go reach. Only MNK can guarantee you real votes from SouthEast.” Appealing to Imo State Governor Hope Uzodimma, he said the governor’s achievements would be forgotten if he doesn’t help secure Kanu’s release. He added that the new sentence has weakened every political strategy built in the region. Cubana Chief Priest further criticised the president for skipping Governor Alex Otti’s invitation in Abia, saying Tinubu instead sent an “incompetent” representative who, according to him, has done nothing meaningful for the South-East. He ended with a stark warning: “Appeal this judgement & get it right or get ready to check out of the Villa come 2027. Southeast belongs to MNK. This is the words.”

In his statement, Fabiyi said: “I am putting my life on the line to make sure justice is done. This video proves what really happened, and it cannot be ignored. I will not stay silent while the truth is hidden and the responsible go unpunished. They want to silence me and use the video against you in the next election. Your excellency, look into this matter.

Your excellency, please look into this matter.” Fabiyi’s claims have reignited public interest in Mohbad’s death, raising questions among Nigerians about whether this alleged new evidence will advance the investigation. “I have video evidence of how Mohbad was m u r dered” “You all should tag Tinubu till he sees this, because I already wrote to him sometimes in May this year” – Yomi Fabiyi pic.twitter.com/Pov0dUdIp3 — Just Eniola 💜 (@JustEniola01) November 20, 2025

President Tinubu Orders Immediate Rescue Of 25 Abducted Kebbi Schoolgirls After Vice Principal Killed

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has ordered security and intelligence agencies to immediately rescue 25 female students abducted from Government Girls Comprehensive Senior Secondary School (GGCSSS) in Maga, Kebbi State. The attack occurred in the early hours of Sunday when gunmen stormed the school in Danko/Wasagu Local Government Area, killing Vice Principal Malam Hassan Makuku, who was reportedly shot while trying to protect the students. The assailants then abducted the schoolgirls, plunging the community into deep mourning. Kebbi Police spokesman, CSP Nafiu Abubakar, confirmed that security operatives have launched a manhunt for the attackers. Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, said President Tinubu has directed a high-level rescue operation. “President Tinubu has reiterated that protecting every Nigerian, especially schoolchildren, remains a solemn responsibility of the State,” he said. “Security and intelligence agencies have been issued clear directives to locate, rescue, and safely return the pupils, and to ensure that the perpetrators face justice.” The minister assured that the Federal Government would not relent until the girls are safely reunited with their families. He also stated that Nigeria is strengthening cooperation with the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), the African Union (AU), and the Multinational Joint Task Force (MNJTF) to secure its borders and dismantle terrorist networks. Furthermore, he revealed that the government is recalibrating the nation’s military, policing, and intelligence capabilities to prevent attacks and respond more rapidly to threats. Minister of State for Defence, Bello Matawalle, condemned the attack as unacceptable and called on all security agencies to act urgently and in coordination to secure the safe release of the abducted students. “President Tinubu has directed that the state’s security apparatus swing into immediate action to ensure the abducted students are released unharmed,” he said, urging residents to remain calm as authorities handle the situation. Matawalle also condoled with the family of the late vice principal and with all families affected by the attack.

Tinubu Reappoints Buba Marwa As NDLEA Chairman

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has renewed the appointment of Brigadier-General Mohammed Buba Marwa (rtd) as the Chairman of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) for another five-year term. Marwa was first appointed by President Muhammadu Buhari in January 2021, after serving as the Chairman of the Presidential Advisory Committee for the Elimination of Drug Abuse from 2018 to December 2020. The reappointment means the Adamawa-born former military officer will remain at the helm of the NDLEA until 2031. Marwa, a former military governor of Lagos and Borno States, is a graduate of the Nigerian Military School and the Nigerian Defence Academy, NDA. After his commissioning as a second lieutenant in 1973, Marwa served as brigade major of the 23 Armoured Brigade, Aide-de-Camp (ADC) to the Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant-General Theophilus Danjuma, and academic registrar of the Nigerian Defence Academy. He also served as Deputy Defence Adviser in the Nigerian Embassy in Washington, DC, and later as Defence Adviser to the Nigerian Permanent Mission to the United Nations. He holds two postgraduate degrees: a Master of Public and International Affairs from the University of Pittsburgh (1983–85) and a Master of Public Administration from Harvard University (1985–86). His tenure in the NDLEA has been remarkable for many drug busts, including the arrests of 73,000 drug mules and barons and seizures of over 15 million kilogrammes of various hard drugs. Under his leadership, the agency has also launched nationwide campaigns to address drug abuse. “Your reappointment is a vote of confidence in your onerous efforts to rid our country of the menace of drug trafficking and drug abuse. I urge you not to relent in tracking the merchants of hard drugs, out to destroy our people, especially the young ones”, President Tinubu stated.
