Celebrity businessman and nightlife promoter, Cubana Chief Priest, has publicly admitted that not supporting Bola Ahmed Tinubu during the last general election was a mistake, signalling what he described as a new political direction focused on cooperation with the Federal Government.
Speaking at a political gathering in Imo State, the socialite said the meeting represented a turning point after weeks of planning, adding that it reflected growing unity and renewed support for the current administration.
According to him, years of political resistance had failed to produce the desired outcomes, prompting him and his associates to reconsider their approach to politics.
“We have decided to partner with the government at the centre. We are not ready to fight. We tried fighting and it didn’t work for us,” he said while addressing supporters.
Chief Priest also praised the governor of Imo State, Hope Uzodimma, for maintaining a close working relationship with the Federal Government. He argued that such cooperation had helped the state attract development and opportunities.
The celebrity businessman further commended Seyi Tinubu, describing him as a unifying figure who has helped strengthen relationships across regional and ethnic lines.
Reflecting on the previous election, Chief Priest admitted that his earlier opposition to President Tinubu was a political miscalculation.
“Politics is a game… we don’t want to lose again and we will never waste our votes again,” he said.
He added that the growing support around the president could evolve into one of the largest political movements in Nigeria, promising increased mobilisation ahead of future elections.
Chief Priest concluded by offering prayers for President Tinubu’s success in office and called on Nigerians to embrace unity, partnership and cooperation as the country moves forward.
