Cubana Chief Priest has given his reason for supporting President Bola Tinubu’s return to office, saying the South-East now has a closer connection to the presidency through Seyi Tinubu, the President’s son.
Speaking during a campaign event in Imo State, he told people in the state that the relationship was one of the reasons he believes they should continue supporting Tinubu.
According to him, having access to someone close to the President gives Igbos an opportunity to present their concerns and make their voices heard at the highest level of government.
“We Igbos now have access to Mr. President through his son, Seyi Tinubu. That’s why we’re doing everything to make sure he’s re-elected", he said.
His argument was simple: rather than staying on the sidelines, he believes the people of the South-East should use whatever connection they have with the presidency to pursue their interests.
For Cubana Chief Priest, Seyi Tinubu’s relationship with people from the region is important because it creates what he sees as an easier route for communication with the President. He suggested that this access could be useful in getting the attention of the federal government on issues that matter to people in Imo State and the wider South-East.
The businessman and social figure has been openly supportive of Tinubu, and his latest comments were centred on the political calculation behind that support. Instead of presenting the issue simply as an endorsement of the President, he tied it to what he believes the region could gain by maintaining a relationship with those around Tinubu.
His comments also put emphasis on the importance of having people who can reach the President directly. In his view, political support can be used as a way of building stronger relationships with those in power and creating room for conversations about the needs of a particular region.
For residents and supporters listening at the campaign event, the message was largely about opportunity and access. Cubana Chief Priest’s position is that the South-East should take advantage of its relationship with Seyi Tinubu and continue working with the current administration rather than walking away from that opportunity.
The statement comes as political discussions around the next presidential election continue, with supporters of different parties and candidates making their cases to voters across the country.
Cubana Chief Priest believes the relationship between Igbos and Seyi Tinubu gives the region a channel to President Tinubu, and that this is enough reason, in his view, to support the President’s bid for another term.
