Ebonyi State Governor, Francis Nwifuru, has responded to a call for his resignation by popular socialite and businessman Paschal Okechukwu Chibuike, popularly known as Cubana Chief Priest.
He fired back at him during a recent event in Abakaliki, the state capital, saying he does not have time for the celebrity barman.
This came after Cubana Chief Priest called on Governor Nwifuru to step down in a now-viral social media post he shared.

According to the social media influencer, the governor has yet to have major projects commissioned by the President or other state governors despite spending up to three years in office.
Reacting to his criticism, Nwifuru said, “I don’t have time for Cubana Chief Priest. He’s a mere attention-seeker and an individual of no consequence. However, if I remember him, I feel sorry for him.”
Prior to this, a member representing Ikwo/Ezza South Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, Chinedu Ogah, had lambasted Cubana over the remark on Nwifuru’s administration.
Ogah said that the socialite does not have any electoral value or political relevance to discredit the performance of Governor Nwifuru.
