"Late Night Meetings, We Are Too Focused To Be Distracted With ChoChoCho From Never Do Wells. Our Minds Are Made Up, The Goal Is Simple Deliver @officialasiwajubat Make Baba Too Fit Deliver For Us South Easterners."
He added:
"We Wont Be On The Bench Again For Another Four Years. To Comort Asiwaju Is A Total Impossibility, Who Wan Do Am? How The Wan Take Do Am? As Smart Stakers We Are Banking On Asiwaju This Time. We Cant Afford To Lose Again."
The socialite insisted that in politics, sentiments must be thrown away, describing the APC as "the surest odd."
He predicted that fights would soon begin among opposition parties over flag bearers, claiming no party comes close to the ruling party's strength.
APC alignment over opposition politics

Cubana Chief Priest portrayed the APC as an unbeatable force, likening opposition efforts to sidelined players in a high-stakes political game.
