Socialite and nightlife entrepreneur, Cubana Chief Priest, has publicly declared support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s 2027 re-election, marking a significant political shift from his stance in the 2023 presidential race.
In a post shared on Instagram, the celebrity barman posted a video of branded campaign buses and disclosed that he had been attending late-night strategy meetings aimed at mobilising support for Tinubu’s second-term bid.
According to him, the objective is to strengthen the President’s popularity in the Southeast and secure overwhelming support from the region.
“Our minds are made up. The goal is simple: deliver @officialasiwajubat,” he wrote, adding that removing Tinubu from office in 2027 would be “a total impossibility.”
Chief Priest described the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) as the “surest odd” politically and urged supporters to align with what he called the most viable platform ahead of the next general election.
He also suggested that internal battles within the African Democratic Congress (ADC) over its presidential ticket could weaken the opposition.
“In politics, you must throw away sentiments. APC na the surest odd. No party comes close, it’s so clear,” he added.
The endorsement represents a notable departure from his previous support for Labour Party candidate Peter Obi during the 2023 presidential election.
His declaration adds to growing conversations around celebrity influence and early political realignments ahead of the 2027 polls.
