Cubana Chiefpriest Opens Up on Motivations for Joining City Boy Movement
Popular nightlife entrepreneur Cubana Chiefpriest has publicly detailed the reasons behind his involvement in the City Boy Movement, emphasizing that he only aligns with causes offering tangible benefits. During a recent rally in Imo State, the socialite addressed a large crowd, clarifying that his support is not merely political but driven by strategic gains for himself and his community.
Assurances from Seyi Tinubu as a Key Factor
Cubana Chiefpriest revealed that a private conversation with Seyi Tinubu, son of President Bola Tinubu, played a pivotal role in his decision. He stated that the assurance of looking after the interests of the South-East region was a critical deal breaker that secured his loyalty. According to him, this promise ensures that the Igbo people are not left behind in national developments.
I stand so firm with my friend Seyi Tinubu, and they have assured me that South East will be taken care of, Chiefpriest declared, highlighting the personal and communal benefits he expects from the movement.
Focus on Empowerment and Strategic Gains
The socialite explained that the City Boy Movement is centered on empowerment and creating opportunities, particularly for supporters in the South-East. He made it clear that he never joins any movement without potential for personal or communal gain, framing his involvement as a calculated move to secure advantages for his people.
His comments have sparked widespread discussion, especially as political alignments ahead of the 2027 elections continue to shape national conversations. Many see his statements as a reflection of broader trends where influential figures leverage their support for regional benefits.
Social Media Reactions and Public Debate
Following the rally, social media users expressed mixed reactions to Chiefpriest's revelations. Some criticized his approach, arguing that it prioritizes personal gain over genuine community empowerment. For instance, one user commented, This is about personal gain, not community empowerment. When SE gets neglected again, remember who endorsed this.
Others raised questions about unfulfilled promises to the South-East, such as funding for the South East Development Commission and past political agreements. These discussions underscore the ongoing tensions and expectations surrounding regional representation in Nigerian politics.
Cubana Chiefpriest, known for his outspoken personality and connections to high-profile individuals, has consistently used his platform to advocate for Igbo interests. His latest statements reinforce his reputation as a strategic player in both social and political spheres.
As the 2027 elections approach, his alignment with the City Boy Movement is likely to influence public perception and political dynamics, particularly in the South-East. The movement's focus on empowerment, as described by Chiefpriest, aims to mobilize support through promises of tangible benefits, setting the stage for further developments in Nigeria's political landscape.
