According to him, those promises allegedly influenced him into spending huge sums of money in different places.

The celebrity businessman claimed he allegedly spent up to N50 million in one place and another N20 million elsewhere after people convinced him that the election was already in his favour.

However, after eventually losing the primary election, the socialite admitted he felt disappointed and betrayed.

When asked what he planned to do to the people who allegedly collected his money, Chiefpriest explained that recovering the funds would be difficult because there were no official records or receipts.

“There’s nothing I can really do,” he implied during the conversation, adding that politics had taught him tough lessons about trust and loyalty.

Rather than dwell on revenge, Cubana Chiefpriest said he has chosen to focus on learning from the painful experience.

The socialite explained that politics is a completely different world from entertainment and business, noting that many people only show loyalty when there is personal gain involved.
