Celebrity businessman and socialite Pascal Okechukwu, well known as Cubana Chief Priest, has fired back at social commentator Isaac Fayose in a string of strongly worded posts on Instagram.
His statement was in reaction to comments allegedly made by Fayose criticizing his decision to align with President Bola Tinubu’s administration.
In the lengthy posts, Cubana Chief Priest defended his political stance, arguing that as a businessman employing over 1,000 people, he has chosen to collaborate with the government rather than oppose it.
“Over 30 governors align and you are crying because an ordinary businessman aligned? Power pass power,” he wrote.
He challenged Fayose to a public business debate, questioning the source of his wealth and referencing Fayose’s brother’s eight-year tenure as governor.
“You want me to negotiate the release of Nnamdi Kanu by being in opposition? I have chosen my path – business and politics,” he stated.
The celebrity socialite further declared his support for President Tinubu’s ‘Renewed Hope Agenda’, expressing confidence in the president’s policies.
“As for me and my family, we have decided to stay with the moving train, Renewed Hope,” he said.
Cubana Chief Priest also highlighted his investments in hospitality and real estate, particularly in his home community, insisting he has contributed significantly to economic development and job creation.
He accused Fayose of jealousy and attempting to recruit him into political opposition, maintaining that he is “not an activist” but a businessman focused on growth and partnerships.
