  • Socialite Cubana Chief Priest claims President Bola Ahmed Tinubu does not fully trust him.
  • He attributes this lack of trust to his prior support for Peter Obi in the 2023 presidential election.
  • The claim suggests political loyalties may impact personal relationships with the president.

Nigerian socialite and businessman Pascal Okechukwu, widely known as Cubana Chief Priest, has publicly stated that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu harbors a degree of distrust towards him. This assertion stems, according to Okechukwu, from his vocal support for Peter Obi, the Labour Party candidate, during the contentious 2023 presidential election.

The implication is that political allegiances, even those expressed prior to Tinubu's ascension to the presidency, continue to cast a shadow over personal and professional relationships within the highest echelons of power. This sentiment highlights the deeply entrenched political divisions and the lingering effects of the election campaign on the national psyche.

Cubana Chief Priest, a prominent figure in Nigeria's entertainment and nightlife scene, often shares aspects of his life and interactions with influential personalities on social media. His candid admission about the President's perceived lack of trust offers a glimpse into the complex dynamics of political patronage and loyalty in Nigeria, where past affiliations can indeed shape present perceptions and opportunities.
