National News – Cubana Chief Priest has alleged that President Bola Tinubu does not fully trust him due to his earlier support for Peter Obi during the 2023 presidential election.

The socialite made the claim during a livestream conversation with streamer Peller, where he discussed lingering political suspicion and ethnic considerations affecting his public image.

He stated that the perception of divided loyalty has continued to follow him despite his recent alignment with the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

He further explained that the president’s alleged distrust stems from his previous political stance, which he described as a strategic choice at the time.

The remarks have since generated debate across social media platforms in Nigeria.

The controversy centers on socialite Cubana Chief Priest, who spoke on May 20, 2026, during a livestream interview with content creator Peller in Nigeria.

He claimed that President Bola Tinubu remains wary of him because of his previous support for Peter Obi in the 2023 general election.

According to him, the distrust is linked to political realignment and ethnic perception within Nigeria’s highly competitive political environment.

He noted that although he now supports the All Progressives Congress, his past association with the Labour Party candidate continues to shape public and political perception.

The businessman said he shifted allegiance after the election, citing a desire to align with a winning political structure.

The comments, made via live video broadcast, quickly circulated across social media platforms, generating mixed reactions from supporters and critics.

While some users described his remarks as honest reflections of Nigerian politics, others accused him of opportunism and inconsistent loyalty.

The incident highlights ongoing tensions between celebrity influence and political affiliations in Nigeria’s democratic landscape.
