In his address, ChiefPriest stated:

“We Igbos now have access to Mr President through his son, Seyi Tinubu. That’s why we’re doing everything to make sure he’s re-elected. Thousands of Imolites are trooping in for registration for APC. Ndi Imo don’t just love the City Boys Movement, they believe in it. Let’s do politics with lifestyle. On Asiwaju’s mandate, we shall stand. Imo is APC. Here, it’s zero competition.”

Meanwhile, a Kenyan woman named Hellen Ati has publicly confronted ChiefPriest once again over his alleged failure to provide financial support for a child she claims he fathered. Reacting via Instagram to the socialite’s recent appearance at Peller’s wedding—where he reportedly gifted the couple ₦10 million—Hellen criticized him for spending heavily on others while her child allegedly struggles to meet basic needs. She expressed severe emotional and financial distress, noting that her earnings from hours of streaming on TikTok can be as low as $1, leaving her hard-pressed to even cover her house rent.

However, Pastor Tobi informed the streamer that the case had already been transitioned to Grammy-winning artist Burna Boy’s legal or management team. According to Peller’s account, Pastor Tobi had initially expressed a vested interest in resolving the situation before Burna Boy’s camp took charge. Opting to keep specific details under wraps, Peller refrained from elaborating on the background or precise circumstances surrounding Poco Lee’s detention, noting that he preferred not to overshare details about the incident while praising the cleric’s character.

Detailing the exchange during his livestream, Peller explained:

“I told pastor Tobi make them Comot Poco Lee from prison. But him talk say na because them don transfer the case to them Burna Boy. But him [Pastor Tobi] him wan dey inside the case before but their Burna Boy…I no wan too talk about am. I just want let you know say pastor Tobi na better man o.”

The lawyer responsible for the filing, Oluseyi Oyagbile, confirmed on Tuesday that he discontinued the case following fresh instructions from party leadership and his clients. The withdrawal comes in the wake of an internal dispute within the party; another legal faction headed by Abiodun Layonu (SAN) had previously distanced itself from the lawsuit, asserting that neither the party nor its standard-bearer, Bola Oyebamiji, authorized a challenge against the August 15 election outcome.

Oyagbile noted that before officially dropping the suit, he requested formal directives via WhatsApp from party leaders to clear up any ambiguity and prevent further friction. Two separate petitions—one attributed to the APC and another to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)—had surfaced on the tribunal’s notice board on Monday, both of which initially faced denials regarding their authorization from the respective parties. With the APC’s petition now dismissed, the ongoing legal scrutiny over the election rests on the remaining petition.
