In his words:
"Who is Cubana Chiefpriest? What does he do for a living? Who gave him the audacity to speak against the Ebonyi State Governor? He is part of those discrediting President Tinubu's support in the South-East. Is it about drinking? Or eating 20 plates of food at a time? He says he is popular; why didnt he win the primary election in Imo state? Is it money laundering that he did that is making him speak against the governor? He arranged hoodlums to steal at the stadium and took all the things to his house. I urged the EFCC to investigate him; he is just a child; he is not yet up to 40."

What Cubana Chiefpriest said about Ebonyi governor
The controversy began after Cubana Chiefpriest called on Governor Nwifuru to resign, questioning how a sitting governor could spend three years in office without having any major projects commissioned by the President or fellow governors.
He also alleged that Ebonyi remains the only state in the South-East without significant development, claiming the state's leaders are "not wise enough" and are stuck living in the past.
Ogah's response dismissed the socialite's political commentary as baseless, pointing to his failed attempt at securing a primary election victory in Imo State as evidence that his public popularity carries little real weight.
