Recall that Cubana Chief Priest recently declared that he no longer supports Peter Obi, whom he backed during the 2023 presidential election, and many observers believe his latest post was indirectly aimed at Obi.
Cubana Chief Priest shared the statement through his Instagram story. Without mentioning names, CP stated that politicians who face criticism online are often the ones who end up winning elections, using Hon. Desmond Elliot as an example to drive home his point.
“People wey una dey love for social media no dey ever win election na the ones wey dem dey abuse online na them dey always win. I use Hon. Desmond Elliot own know, once social media dey curse you out you don win be that. Social media candidates no deh ever win. Na noise una get Umu bingo with una free WiFi live sessions. only Cho Cho Cho zero capacity.”
His statement has sparked debates among followers who interpreted it as another subtle jab in the ongoing political conversations across Nigeria as the 2027 elections draw near.
