Tinubu’s Support Could Pave Way For Igbo Presidency – Cubana Chief Priest Tells South-East
Socialite and businessman Cubana Chief Priest has called on people of the South-East to rally behind President Bola Tinubu ahead of the 2027 elections, arguing that such a move could improve the region’s political standing and possibly fast-track the release of Nnamdi Kanu.
He praised a traditional ruler from the region for taking concerns directly to the President in Abuja, noting that engagement with the current administration is more productive than opposition from a distance. According to him, political alignment is crucial if the South-East hopes to achieve key objectives.
“Igbo best stake is on Asiwaju,” he declared, maintaining that backing Tinubu would be a strategic decision.
He stressed that Tinubu secured victory in the 2023 presidential election despite limited support from the South-East, suggesting that withholding votes did not alter the outcome. In his view, offering solid backing in 2027 could position the region to negotiate from a place of strength.
“God bless you, Your Royal Highness for partaking in Nigeria. If Your Highness did not participate in Abuja, how Asiwaju wan take hear this message. If to say dem no record this video play for una, them for call his royal highness sell out say him don go collect money.
Alignment is key, we no fit fight government, Asiwaju go free MNK. His Royal Highness don put am for Baba body. Let’s get along with Nigeria.
Last election, Tinubu won without South-East, it’s clear he will win again. So why not give him the votes so he can do what we ask of him in return.
Hopefully, he will hand over power to an Igbo man. He made Buhari president, a Hausa man. He made himself, a Yoruba man president. What makes you think he won’t make an Igbo man president if we clearly support him for one more term?
Igbo best stake is on Asiwaju. Just think it out. Man has the best political structure in the country to win election make we no waste our votes.”
Cubana Chief Priest concluded that strategic political cooperation could open the door for greater inclusion of the South-East in national leadership.
