Nigerian socialite Cubana Chief Priest has retracted his statement on President Tinubu, as he shared his conversation with Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Benjamin Kalu.
Kemi Filani reported that following the life sentencing of Nnamdi Kanu, Chief Priest had written a letter to Tinubu informing him that he would never receive 10,000 votes from the South East in 2027 if Nnamdi remained in jail. He told him to either appeal this judgment and get it right or be ready to check out of the Villa in 2027.
On his Instagram page, he said he woke up to see a deleted message from the Deputy Speaker, which left him worried, scared, and shivering; however, he was fearless. Cubana told him that if he comes for him, God would embarrass him and promised to do better than Benjamin, when in his position.
On his Instagram page, he revealed that he had been on a call for over 42 minutes with Kalu and briefed him that all hope is not lost. He said that Nnamdi Kanu will hopefully gain his freedom because it’s left for the president to take action.
Cubana retraced his statement that Benjamin Kalu is a weak man, declaring him a strong man.
In a message to Tinubu, he said that all hope is not lost, as his votes are secured. He told the president to listen to the delegation coming to meet him and let Nnamdi come home and fix the Southeast.
“I Have Been On Call For Over 42 Mins With The Deputy Speaker & From All He Briefed Me, All Hopes Are Not Lost, MNK Will Get Freedom Hopefully Because It’s Now The President Can Take Action As Matter Don Comort From Court. The Deputy Speaker Is Not A Weak Man, As I Stated Earlier. He is an action man; it’s just that they failed to brief the people on the process of their support to secure MNK’s Release. All Hopes Are Not Yet Lost @officialasiwajubat Your Votes Are Secured, The Delegation Coming To Meet You Please Listen To Them Sir, As Long As You Help Us By Letting MNK Come Home To Us To Fix Southeast Just Do Your 8 Years Dey Go, Person Wey Cause This Problem Don Die Make The Matter Sef Die.

I Will Be Visiting MNK Soon With DS, As This Conversation Has Helped Me Gain Access to Make I Go See Onye Ndu Ndi Igbo MNK One On One”.
During the heat of the Benue Killings, Chief Priest had called on Tinubu to put an end to open grazing. He passionately appealed to the President to immediately outlaw open grazing across the country, noting the brutal level of damage it caused.
In May, Chief Priest had met President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Sharing a video of the moment he met the President, he stated that people can never break them and revealed that his desire for the president is more than he can explain.
Reacting to the backlash he received for kneeling to greet the President, CP, as he is fondly known as noted how his haters are envious of him. He added that he understands the game better now, as he noted how those who keep showing fake love end up losing.
