Nightlife entrepreneur and social commentator, Cubana Chief Priest, has issued a strong message to President Bola Tinubu, insisting that the continued detention of IPOB leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu will have severe political consequences in the South-East.
In his words:
“President Tinubu, as long as Nnamdi Kanu remains in jail, you cannot & will never get up to 10,000 votes in the South-East in 2027.”
Cubana Chief Priest called on the Federal Government to release Kanu, stressing that his prolonged imprisonment has heightened tensions in the region and deepened political resentment.
He added that releasing Kanu would not only help restore peace but also pave the way for meaningful political engagement ahead of the 2027 elections.
His comments come shortly after Nnamdi Kanu was sentenced to life imprisonment by the Federal High Court in Abuja, a ruling that has sparked reactions both locally and internationally.
