Tinubu’s Win Sparks Warning To Igbos From Prominent Chiefpriest

Socialite and entrepreneur Chief Priest has stated that political alignment between the South-East and President Bola Tinubu could pave the way for the release of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu.

He argued that it is unwise to confront the Federal Government directly. His comments came in reaction to a video of the Igwe of Ezema Olo, Lawrence Agubuzo, appealing to Tinubu in Abuja for Kanu’s release.

Sharing the video on his Instagram page, Chief Priest praised the monarch’s intervention, writing:

“The message is very clear. God bless Your Royal Highness for partaking in Nigeria’s future. If His Highness had not gone to Abuja, how would Asiwaju have received this message?”

He emphasized the strategic importance of political support, urging the South-East to back Tinubu for potential benefits.

“We cannot fight the government. If Asiwaju frees MNK, the Igwe has already paved the way. Let’s get along with Nigeria. Tinubu won the last election without the South-East.
He will win again, so why not give him our votes so he can do what we ask in return? Hopefully, he will hand over power to an Igbo man.”

Chief Priest also highlighted Tinubu’s political strength, noting:

“He has the best political structure in the country to win elections. The Igbo’s best stake is on Asiwaju. Let’s think it through and not waste our votes.”
