Legitt.ng earlier reported that Cubana Chiefpriest explained why Governor Alex Otti of Abia State has refused to join the African Democratic Congress (ADC) alongside former Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi.
Speaking in a recent interview, the nightlife entrepreneur and staunch supporter of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu alleged that the federal government has been providing financial support to Abia State to help Governor Otti succeed in his developmental projects.
“All of us dey support Asiwaju. If na lie, make him follow Peter Obi go ADC. All the things wey Alex Otti dey do for Abia na Asiwaju dey supply am with the funds,” Chief Priest said.
He described Otti as an “amazing governor” whose actions reflect the presidency’s support and guidance.
He went further to underline that Nigerians should recognize the President’s role in empowering governors who are delivering results in their states.
CP also noted that while many Nigerians appear to oppose Tinubu publicly, they are, in fact, benefiting from the federal allocations to their states.
He urged citizens to focus on holding governors accountable rather than blaming the President for local governance issues.
“Alex Otti is an example that Tinubu isn’t your problem, but your governors, because the same allocation given to him is also given to all the states’ governors. Y’all should hold your governors accountable; maybe then the country will be better for all,” he added.
He cited his own state of Imo as a point of comparison, praising how the allocations from the presidency are being utilised effectively under his governor’s leadership.
The remarks by Cubana Chief Priest come amid ongoing political realignments ahead of the 2027 general elections, and they have reignited discussions around loyalty, federal support, and the dynamics between the presidency and state governments in Nigeria.
