Nigerian celebrity entrepreneur Pascal Okechukwu, widely recognized as Cubana Chiefpriest, has issued a stark warning to President Bola Tinubu regarding the political implications of Nnamdi Kanu’s continued detention.
The outspoken socialite asserted that President Tinubu’s chances of garnering significant support in the Southeast during the 2027 elections are virtually nonexistent without the release of the incarcerated IPOB leader, boldly claiming, “You won’t secure even 10,000 votes across the entire region.”
This fiery declaration came in response to the recent court judgment against Kanu. Cubana Chiefpriest took to social media with a blunt message: “@officialasiwajubat, let me be brutally honest as your ally—detaining MNK has alienated the Southeast. None of your appointed officials dare speak this truth because they lack influence. Our governors will fail you; only MNK’s freedom can salvage your political future.
Those dining with you at Delbourogh Hotel? They’re opportunistic sycophants, myself included. None can deliver votes when our people resent Kanu’s imprisonment. Governor Alex Otti remains your sole Southeast ally with genuine credibility—yet you snubbed his Abia event, sending instead an ineffective minister who betrays our region daily.
To Governor @he_hopeuzodimma: your legacy crumbles if Kanu isn’t freed. This legal verdict undermines all your administration’s progress. I’ve shaken your hand at the Villa, respected your leadership—but without MNK’s release, expect electoral disaster. The gods have spoken: the Southeast stands with Kanu. Ignore this warning at your peril.“
