The celebrity businessman has been vocal about his support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his reported re-election bid in 2027. He has also been at the forefront of the “City Boyz” movement in the South-East, campaigning in support of the President and the APC.
However, as at press time, Chief Priest is yet to issue an official statement.
