Seyi Tinubu consoles Cubana Chief Priest following the celebrity businessman’s defeat in the All Progressives Congress (APC) primary elections. According to separate reports, Tinubu offers encouragement to Chief Priest after he loses the APC primary contest for a House of Representatives seat in Imo State.
Premium Times reports that Chief Priest responds to the outcome by stating that he remains loyal to the APC and to Tinubu. The outlet also links the consolation to Chief Priest’s public remarks after the primaries, saying Tinubu’s intervention comes after the businessman is defeated in the party’s internal process.
The Punch similarly says Tinubu reaches out to console Chief Priest after the primary election defeat, noting the businessman’s participation in the APC contest for a federal constituency seat in Imo State. Both accounts present the same sequence of events: a primary defeat, followed by Tinubu’s consolation and Chief Priest’s continued public support for the party and Tinubu.
