Nigerian socialite Cubana Chiefpriest has explained why Governor Alex Otti of Abia State has refused to join the African Democratic Congress (ADC) alongside former Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi.
Speaking in a recent interview, the nightlife entrepreneur and staunch supporter of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu alleged that the federal government has been providing financial support to Abia State to help Governor Otti succeed in his developmental projects.
While describing Otti as an amazing governor whose actions reflect the presidency’s support and guidance, Chiefpriest said Nigerians should acknowledge Tinubu’s role in empowering governors who are delivering results in their states.
According to him, Tinubu is not the problem of Nigerians, but rather governors who benefit from federal allocations but do not use them effectively.
Chiepriest added that citizens should focus on holding governors accountable rather than blaming the President for local governance issues.
He wrote, “All of us dey support Asiwaju. If na lie, make him follow Peter Obi go ADC. All the things wey Alex Otti dey do for Abia na Asiwaju dey supply am with the funds. Such an amazing Governor, representing the presidency well through his actions. Respect Asiwaju, as you dey hail Otti, no forget to hail Asiwaju wey put am on.Alex Otti is an example that Tinubu isn’t your problem, but your governors, because the same allocation given to him is also given to all the states’ governors.Y’all should hold your governors accountable; maybe then the country will be better for all. As far as I am concerned, Tinubu gives all the Governors’ allocations to my own state, Imo. Our Governor is working; if all the Governors do like them, we will get a better country.”
