- Addressing the attack, Cubana Chiefpriest, who publicly declared his support for the APC, claimed that the attack was an intentional act to smear the President's image
Nigerian socialite turned political figure, Pascal Chibuike Okechukwu, better known as Cubana Chiefpriest, has addressed the tragic attack in Jos that claimed several lives on Palm Sunday, expressing sadness and frustration over the rising insecurity in the country.
Taking to his Instagram page, the nightlife promoter spoke about a viral video showing a mother and her grown son who were among the victims of the attack.

According to the notable face of the APC, who got a special recognition after being booed at an event in Abuja, the heartbreaking image has stuck in his mind for days.
In a strongly worded message, Cubana Chiefpriest questioned when the continual killings across the country would come to an end, saying it is difficult to understand the goal behind the attacks.
He said:
"When will these killings stop. How do people desire happiness in killing one another. When will this ever stop?"
He went on to ridicule the Governor of Plateau State, Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang, criticising him for arriving in an armoured vehicle while visiting the affected community. The socialite argued that leadership requires courage, adding that a governor should be willing to stand boldly with the people rather than appear more fearful than they are.
Cubana Chiefpriest further suggested that the attack may have been carried out to embarrass President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on his birthday, urging security agencies to step up and do their jobs properly.
He added:
"I feel for everyone in Jos. This was clearly done to embarrass our president on his birthday."
Ending his post on a sombre note, he prayed for the victims, asking God to grant them eternal rest while also calling for strength and wisdom for the president to choose capable leaders who can help tackle the country’s security challenges.
