In a heated public reaction that has stirred intense debate nationwide, Cubana Chiefpriest Warns Tinubu about the political consequences he believes will follow the recent sentencing of Nnamdi Kanu. The celebrity barman took to Instagram to express strong concerns, stressing that President Bola Tinubu risks losing every form of electoral backing from the Southeast in the 2027 presidential election unless decisive steps are taken regarding the case.
Reaction to Nnamdi Kanu’s Sentence
The Federal High Court in Abuja recently delivered a life imprisonment judgment against Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB). The ruling has immediately deepened existing regional tensions and reopened long-standing discussions about security, justice, and political alignment in the Southeast. Chiefpriest said, “President @officialasiwajubat As Long As MNK Remains In Jail You Cannot & Will Never Get Up To 10,000 Votes In SouthEast Come 2027. I Will Not Lie To You Papa, As A Friend Of Your Government I Have No Reason To Whitewash You.”
Amid these rising emotions, Cubana Chiefpriest, known for his outspoken nature and wide influence across social media, voiced his disapproval. He insisted that the decision has far-reaching implications that the current administration cannot afford to ignore. His comments have since gone viral, sparking divided opinions across various online communities.
His Strong Message to the President
In his lengthy Instagram post, Cubana Chiefpriest made it clear that he was not speaking as a political opponent but as someone offering a blunt warning out of concern. According to him, President Tinubu should never expect meaningful votes from the Southeast in 2027 if Kanu remains incarcerated.
He stressed that the region feels unfairly treated and that the government’s relationship with the Southeast is deteriorating faster than many realize. By stating that the president “will not get up to 10,000 votes” from the region if nothing changes, he emphasized the depth of public dissatisfaction.
This moment marks one of the most direct and emotional public reactions from a major influencer since the judgment was delivered.
Calls for the President to Take Action
Cubana Chiefpriest did not stop at expressing dissatisfaction; he also suggested what he believes the government should do. He called on the president to appeal the ruling and take more balanced steps that can help rebuild trust with the Southeast.
He warned that ignoring the emotional and political significance of Kanu’s continued detention could lead to long-term consequences that extend far beyond votes. According to him, the region has reached a breaking point where people expect fairness, empathy, and a willingness to repair damaged relationships.
This section of his message is where Cubana Chiefpriest Warns Tinubu most directly about what he sees as an avoidable political crisis.
Criticism of Southeast Politicians
Another major part of his statement focused on Southeast ministers and political leaders working under the current administration. The nightlife mogul accused them of lacking the courage to tell the president the truth about how deeply this issue affects their region.
He claimed that many of them are prioritizing personal benefits over representing the actual concerns of their people. According to him, their silence contributes to ongoing resentment, and the situation will continue to worsen unless they start speaking honestly.
Cubana Chiefpriest further stated that leaders who should be guiding the president on Southeast matters have chosen to remain quiet, making them part of the problem rather than part of the solution.
Growing Online Reactions
His post has become one of the most discussed political commentaries of the week. Thousands of Nigerians are debating whether his fears are justified, what the ruling means for the future of IPOB-related discussions, and how this affects the region’s political participation ahead of 2027.
Some believe Cubana Chiefpriest is simply voicing the sentiments of many young people in the Southeast, while others argue that political outcomes cannot be predicted solely based on current emotions. Regardless, his message has amplified the pressure on the government and placed intense focus on the administration’s next steps.
