2027: South-East votes not guaranteed for you if Kanu remains in jail – Chief Priest tells Tinubu
Popular socialite Cubana Chief Priest has issued a strong warning to President Bola Tinubu following the life imprisonment sentence given to Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
He cautioned that the 2027 general election could be very challenging for the President in the South-East if Kanu remains behind bars.
Speaking shortly after the Federal High Court in Abuja delivered its judgment, Cubana Chief Priest said, “The political atmosphere in the South-East has grown very tense, and it is largely shaped by Kanu’s situation.”
He stressed that the current tensions in the region could have serious implications for the President’s political plans if the issue is not addressed.
In a lengthy Instagram post, the businessman expressed anger, claiming that resentment in the South-East is deepening and that support for the President is already dwindling.
“President @officialasiwajubat As long as MNK remains in jail you cannot & will never get up to 10,000 votes in South-East come 2027… Only MNK release can save you,” he wrote.
Cubana Chief Priest also criticized South-East ministers, accusing them of failing to convey the true feelings of the people to the President.
He claimed that none of them holds the political influence necessary to regain public trust.
He further directed his warning to Imo State Governor Hope Uzodinma, urging him to intervene and advocate for Kanu’s release.
According to him, the governor’s accomplishments risk being overshadowed if the matter is not addressed.
“To My Father @he_hopeuzodimma… Appeal This Judgement & Get It Right Or Get Ready To Check Out Of The Villa Come 2027… Southeast Belongs To MNK,” he added.
