The old video from April 2025, which recently resurfaced, included the moment the businessman publicly corrected his son during his 50th birthday celebration in Abuja.
The lavish event was graced by several celebrities, politicians, and high-profile guests, including the 2023 Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi.
A clip showed Obi Cubana standing beside his seated son as Peter Obi approached to greet them.
After exchanging pleasantries with the businessman, the politician turned to greet the young boy, who remained seated. Displeased by the lack of courtesy, Obi Cubana promptly instructed his son to stand up and greet the elder properly, an action that received applause back then.
However, following his new appointment in the pro-Tinubu group, the old video has now generated different reactions in 2026 as many dropped comments about the businessman's political affiliations.

Comments about Obi Cubana's video with Peter Obi
Legit.ng compiled some of the reactions that trailed the old video. Read them below:
bellobabs commented:
"Why are they analyzing and visualizing this Cubana support for PBAT like he did something bad. Man is an adult and a Nigeria who has got the right to support any candidate he adore. The time of blackmailing and threatening people based on their political choice is over, this is not 2023, the sky is wide enough for all bird to fly, if you support your Obi without drama, let me support PBAT in peace."

"Did Cubana ever mention any type of support for Obi's presidential ambition or you guys just expect him to be his supporter cos he is from the same state with him? What's wrong with Obi Cubana been the coordinator for City Boy movement? Can't he make a choice for himself anymore."
