Isaac Fayose, the brother of former Ekiti State governor Ayo Fayose, and businessman and socialite Pascal Okechukwu, also known as Cubana Chief Priest, have been at odds over the former’s relationship with the City Boy Movement, a group that supports President Bola Tinubu’s government.
In a previous Instagram post, Fayose asserted that Igbo people are “easy to buy” if one has “money and power.”
Cubana Chief Priest responded on the photo-sharing app on Wednesday, stating that he must make judgments that will benefit his companies as an employer of labor, which is why he decided to back the Tinubu administration.
“You’re upset because a regular businessman aligned, while over 30 governors did? He wrote, “Power passes power.”
Inquiring about the source of Fayose’s income and bringing up his brother’s eight-year term as governor, he challenged Fayose to a public business debate.
“You want me to oppose Nnamdi Kanu’s release in order to negotiate his release? “Business and politics are the paths I have chosen,” he said.
The self-described celebrity bartender also expressed trust in President Tinubu’s programs and stated his support for the president’s “Renewed Hope Agenda.”
“My family and I have made the decision to remain on the Renewed Hope moving train,” he stated.
Cubana Chief Priest also emphasized his real estate and hospitality ventures, especially in his hometown, and insisted that he has made a substantial contribution to job creation and economic growth.
He insisted that he is “not an activist,” but rather a businessman who is interested in expansion and collaborations, and accused Fayose of being envious and trying to enlist him in political opposition.
