Tension is brewing in Abia State following what many have described as a deliberate act of misrepresentation during the recent visit of global music star, David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, to Umuahia for the official launch of Don FM and Ikoro FM—two media outfits owned by renowned entertainment entrepreneur, Mayor Lucky Igbokwe, also known as Don Lulu.
According to credible findings, Mayor Don Lulu not only fully paid Davido for the event but also personally arranged for the private jet that airlifted the artist to Owerri before proceeding to Umuahia, where he was billed to perform.
However, drama unfolded when Mr. @Ituma Chukwuemeka Eviable, CEO of Enviable Transport, allegedly colluded with nightlife promoter Pascal Okechukwu, aka Cubana Chiefpriest, to mislead Davido into visiting the home of Enviable Transport in Umuahia—under the false impression that it was part of the official itinerary organized by Don Lulu.
Sources confirm that the alleged manipulation began right from Owerri International Airport, where Cubana Chiefpriest attempted to divert Davido to his personal residence in Owerri. Davido, upon realizing the deviation, instructed that he be taken directly to Umuahia for his scheduled performance arranged by Don Lulu.
Despite this, Cubana Chiefpriest C , acting without Don Lulu’s consent, allegedly took Davido to Enviable’s residence in Umuahia. Shockingly, a video was later released showing Davido’s visit to Enviable’s home, with the claim that Enviable gifted him $10,000 as “kola”, without any acknowledgment or mention of Mayor Don Lulu—the actual host and financier of Davido’s visit.
It is worthy to note that Don Lulu hired Prado Jeeps and other cars from Enviable Transport which were all paid in Full.
This act has sparked outrage among Abia youths, who view it as a gross act of disrespect and deliberate misrepresentation. They are calling on Mr. Ituma Chukwuemeka of Enviable Transport to issue a public apology to Mayor Don Lulu for what they described as an “intentional deception” that could have tarnished the integrity of the high-profile event.
Addressing the Press in Umuahia on Monday, Comrade Chidiebere Nwoko who spoke on behalf of the Don Lulu Youth Assembly condemned the deceitful conduct of Enviable Transport and Cubana Chiefpriest without recourse to the millions of money spent to bring Davido in Umuahia by Mayor Don Lulu
The youths insist that if the apology is not rendered promptly, further actions may be taken to ensure that such manipulation does not go unchecked within Abia’s fast-growing entertainment industry.
