Chiefpriest Defends His Loyalty to Tinubu
Rather than backing down, Cubana Chiefpriest framed his support in strikingly personal terms, saying his investments in Lagos are directly tied to his political allegiance.
He argued that Tinubu's role in shaping Lagos, which he described as the most active working city in Africa, is reason enough to back the president.
In his own words, he stated:
"The more they bully us for supporting #presidentbolaahmedtinubu, the more dedicated we are to love him more. There is nobody badder than that man; we are with the best, the biggest, the man who created Lagos that transformed all our lives. The most working, active city in Africa. What has your candidate done that you want me to follow him?
"I am following a man who made it possible for us to have a business hub where we transform millions to billions. My investments are in Lagos and I am betting on Lagos. I don't care how you feel because I am protecting my investment and I am banking on Tinubu. So continue shedding tears."

Perhaps the most memorable moment in his statement was the football analogy he used to explain why he would never consider switching sides.
He drew a comparison between supporting Tinubu and opting for Real Madrid over Charlton FC, suggesting the choice is simply too obvious to second-guess.
"The more they bully us for supporting Tinubu, the more dedicated we are to loving him more. Nobody badder than Tinubu. You don't expect me to see Real Madrid and go follow Charlton FC," he said.
The remarks have stirred conversation online, with many reacting to the businessman's unapologetic tone and his willingness to frame political loyalty through the lens of protecting personal wealth and business interests.
