In a video shared on his Instagram page, Oyemykke slammed those criticising the two businessmen and other Igbo men who are backing Tinubu.

According to him, Obi Cubana and Cubana Chiefpriest are businessmen, not politicians. He added that they left the East to invest in Lagos, a state he said Tinubu helped to build.

He added that Nigeria operates a democratic system where people are free to support whoever they choose.

Oyemykke questioned whether critics would abandon Tinubu if they were in the businessmen’s position and support someone else instead. He argued that Tinubu created an enabling environment for them to thrive in Lagos, so they cannot be expected to betray him.

He further asked why people are angry about Obi Cubana and Cubana Chiefpriest’s decision and urged critics to support their own preferred candidates.

"So what will happen to their business when tinubu finally leaves or his tenure ends or probably a new presidential candidate emerges frm another party ? They will support that one too either good or bad cus of their own personal interest or that of their businesses. Politics is a dirty game."
