Cubana Chief Priest defends Tinubu support, urges ethnic unity
Nigerian socialite Cubana Chief Priest has publicly backed President Bola Tinubu for the 2027 elections, rejecting criticism that his support betrays his Yoruba heritage. In an Instagram post, he urged Nigerians to set aside ethnic sentiments and focus on national progress, stating: 'If an Igbo man supporting Tinubu is a betrayal, what is a Yoruba man supporting Obi? We can only be Nigerians for us to prosper.' Chief Priest emphasized his endorsement was based on conviction in Tinubu's vision, comparing political support to road safety: 'Tinubu SERVED! Leaving Tinubu to support any other candidate is like not looking both ways before crossing the road.' His comments highlight ongoing ethnic divisions in Nigerian politics, with the entrepreneur stressing that national progress requires transcending tribal affiliations.
