Businessman and socialite Cubana Chiefpriest appears to have reversed his strong rhetoric regarding the detention of IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu following an extensive phone conversation with the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Benjamin Kalu.
Cubana Chiefpriest, who had previously issued an open letter to President Tinubu linking the marginalization of the South East to Kanu’s prolonged detention, shared a screenshot of an incoming group call that lasted over 42 minutes with Ben Kalu.
In a caption accompanying the image, the businessman indicated that his hope for Kanu’s release has been renewed and suggested that the Deputy Speaker is now actively involved in the matter.
Cubana Chiefpriest wrote:
“I Have Been On Call For Over 42 Mins With The Deputy Speaker & From All He Briefed Me All Hopes Are Not Lost, MNK Will Get Freedom Hopefully Because It’s Now The President Can Take Action As Matter Don Comort From Court. The Deputy Speaker Is Not A Weak Man As I Stated Earlier He Is An Action Man, Is Just That They Failed To Brief Us The People With The Process Of Their Support To Secure MNK Release. All Hopes Are Not Yet Lost @officialasiwajubat Your Votes are Secured, The Delegation Coming To Meet You Please Listen To Them Sir, As Long As You Help Us By Letting MNK Come Home To Us To Fix Southeast Just Do Your 8 Years Dey go, Person Wey Cause This Problem Don Die Make The Matter Sef Die. Since His Detention Southeast Has Failed Woefully We Need To Be On The Rise Again.

The statement marks a significant shift, as the businessman not only expresses newfound trust in the government’s efforts but also softens his tone toward the Tinubu administration, even affirming that the President’s “Votes are Secured.”
He concluded by confirming that the conversation helped him gain access to visit Kanu soon.
