Businessman and socialite Pascal Okechukwu, popularly known as Cubana Chief Priest, has suggested that insecurity is the reason the funeral of highlife star Flavour’s dad was held in Enugu instead of his home state of Anambra.
Chief Priest, who was among the celebrities that attended the funeral on Saturday, stated this via his verified Instagram page.
He appealed to Southeasterners to collectively address the issue of insecurity in the region, emphasising that it is “no longer interesting.”
The socialite mentioned that Southeasterners cannot destroy their homeland because they are being marginalised.
He wrote: “This amazing funeral was supposed to be happening in Umunze Anambra State but here we are in Enugu managing it. Umunne, we need to come together and fix this, it’s no longer interesting. We cannot destroy our own because we are being marginalised.
“We must uphold our glory by going back to our peaceful nature. We can only fight back if home is in order for proper planning. If this continues that means they have succeeded in disorganising us.
“Oga Adicha ama, nke di na iru ka. RIP, Papa Ijele Igbo Nile, Papa muru African royalty 2niteflavour ebube agu na eche agu.”
DAILY POST recalls that Cubana Chief Priest recently disclosed that insecurity in the Southeast forced him to relocate his business to Lagos State.
He lamented that the fear of kidnapping and killing has driven away customers from the East, who previously visited home regularly.
