Why Dino Melaye snubbed Cubana Chief Priest

Dino Melaye has been a major critic of President Bola Tinubu and has been vocal about his disdain for the statesman.

As a PDP member, he strongly supported Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate for the party in the 2023 election.

However, Cubana Chief Priest was appointed as a social media aide to Governor Hope Uzodimma of Imo state, who is now the chairman of the governors elected on the platform of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

The appointment of the socialite by the Imo state governor informed the political association and the flying of Tinubu's logo at his friend's birthday. However, Dino Melaye appeared to have taken that move personally.
