According to a video on Beat FM, on Wednesday May 27, 2026, Cubana Chief Priest, the Nigerian entrepreneur and entertainer, declared with confidence that his failure to secure a House of Representatives ticket in the recent APC primaries is only a temporary setback, drawing a direct parallel between his situation and the political journey of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, who he described as a master of patience and strategic timing.
Speaking on Beat FM 99.9, Cubana Chief Priest explained that the backlash he received on social media after his primary election loss, combined with the mockery from critics who felt he had made a wrong political move, did not discourage him.
Instead, he said the experience deepened his understanding of how long-term political success is actually built in Nigeria.
He spoke about observing how President Tinubu spent years building political structures, supporting others, and waiting for the right moment to claim the highest office in the land, a model he said taught him the value of patience, strategic thinking, and knowing when to step back before striking.
In his words, Cubana Chief Priest said, “President Tinubu sacrificed eight years and pushed President Buhari to first go before him. So what am I learning from my master? Patience, perseverance, knowing that you can step back, restrategize and hit at the right time.
“That’s why I jumped into the studio and let them know this is still CP and in less than one week from that primary, CP has a new hit song banging out here,” he said.
He made clear that his involvement in politics is a long-term commitment guided by the same discipline and strategic thinking that built his business empire.
He said that just as his business apprenticeship ultimately paid off, he believes the same principle will apply to his political career in due time…..See More
