Isaac Fayose and Cubana Chief Priest Clash Over Politics and Allegiance in Heated Social Media Feud

Isaac Fayose’s Accusations of Greed Against Igbos Spark Fiery Defense and Personal Attacks from Cubana Chief Priest

A war of words erupted this week between businessman Isaac Fayose and celebrity personality Cubana Chief Priest, spilling from a Lagos venue onto social media in a clash over ethnicity, political loyalty, and personal success.

The conflict ignited Monday at Kaykers Club in Lagos, where Fayose accused the Igbo community of greed and selfishness. He specifically targeted the socialite, whose real name is Pascal Okechukwu, for wearing a cap supporting President Bola Tinubu instead of advocating for Nnamdi Kanu’s release following the IPOB leader’s 2025 terrorism conviction.

Cubana Chief Priest responded with a barrage of posts on his Instagram story, launching personal attacks and a vigorous defense of his business empire and political choices.

“Guy you no really get sense,” he fired back, mocking Fayose’s family political legacy. “Wetin over 30 governors align to na wetin ordinary businessman align to and you dey cry… I have chosen to be a friend of the government like Dangote, Bua, Air Peace & Otedola.”

He vehemently challenged Fayose’s implied critique of his wealth, boasting of his real estate, multinational PR clients, and family businesses. “You have more money than me but choose to be simple… your entire net worth is in my wardrobe as shoes, clothes, bags, watches and accessories,” he taunted.

Fayose stood by his comments in subsequent replies, clarifying that his criticism was one of principle. He noted his marriage to an Igbo woman from Anambra State in an attempt to deflect accusations of ethnic prejudice.

The public feud has drawn widespread attention, with reactions sharply divided. Some support Fayose’s call for consistent activism, while others applaud Cubana Chief Priest’s unabashed embrace of business and political alignment.

The exchange highlights the volatile mix of ethnicity, commerce, and politics in Nigeria, putting on display the personal stakes and public perceptions that define influence in the country’s social landscape.
