Nigerian celebrity barman and businessman Cubana Chiefpriest has escalated his political commentary, directly challenging the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives over the handling of Nnamdi Kanu's case and the development of Southeast Nigeria.
The Confrontation Over Deleted Message
In a recent Instagram post that has gone viral, Cubana Chiefpriest revealed that the Deputy Speaker had sent him a private message, which was subsequently deleted. The celebrity businessman admitted feeling initial apprehension about the communication but quickly regained his confidence.
Cubana Chiefpriest issued a stern warning to the politician, stating that divine intervention would embarrass anyone who came after him. He emphasized that the Deputy Speaker couldn't inflict greater pain than what he had already endured due to the ongoing situation in the Southeast region.
Demands for Southeast Development
The celebrity entrepreneur didn't stop at mere confrontation. He offered concrete suggestions for what the Deputy Speaker should prioritize if genuinely concerned about the Southeast. Cubana Chiefpriest outlined a comprehensive plan that he would implement if he held the Deputy Speaker's position.
His proposed solution involved uniting Southeast governors, convening all ministers and elites from the region, and working collectively to establish lasting peace. He stressed the urgency of the situation, noting that time continues to pass while development stalls.
In a particularly pointed remark, Cubana Chiefpriest reminded the Deputy Speaker that after his political tenure concludes, they would ultimately meet as equals in public spaces, implying that political power is temporary.
Public Reaction and Support
The businessman's bold statements have generated significant support from his followers and the broader public. Instagram users flooded the comments section with messages of encouragement and agreement with his stance.

Another supporter, @honiebells007, analyzed the Deputy Speaker's behavior: "Deputy Speaker deleting message by 7:08am only shows guilt and fear. Power no be intimidation, it is responsibility. If you truly meant well for the Southeast, you no go dey type in the shadows and delete like person wey no get conviction."
The overwhelming sentiment among commentators was appreciation for Cubana Chiefpriest's courage in speaking truth to power and advocating for the Southeast region's interests during this contentious period.
