Cubana Chief Priest Shifts Political Support to Tinubu

Cubana Chief Priest, a popular Nigerian socialite, has switched his political allegiance to President Bola Tinubu, aligning himself with the pro-Tinubu Citi Boi Movement. This shift comes in the wake of a tragic attack in Plateau State, specifically in Angwan Rukuba, which occurred on Palm Sunday and resulted in 40 fatalities.

Following this incident, Cubana Chief Priest expressed sympathy for the victims on Instagram, linking the tragedy to political motivations. His comments, particularly regarding the embarrassment caused to President Tinubu on his birthday, have sparked widespread criticism.

Nigerian singer Skales condemned Cubana Chief Priest's statement as insensitive, emphasizing that the loss of life should take precedence over political embarrassment. This political journey marks a significant change for Cubana Chief Priest, who previously supported Labour Party candidate Peter Obi during the 2023 elections.

The public scrutiny surrounding his current stance intensifies against the backdrop of national insecurity, raising questions about the motivations behind his political alignment.
