Cubana Chief Priest Misses Out In Imo Primaries—What This Means

Pascal Chibuike Okechukwu, also known as Cubana Chief Priest, is a well-known nightlife entrepreneur and socialite who reportedly lost the All Progressives Congress (APC) primary election for an Imo State House of Representatives seat.

Several reports circulating online claim that incumbent lawmaker Omeogo defeated Cubana Chief Priest, who also serves as the South-East City Boy Movement Coordinator, in the party primaries.

Many Nigerians expressed their thoughts on social media regarding the realities of electoral contests and the involvement of celebrities in politics in response to the development.

Reacting to the outcome, @mrroy26 wrote:

“Na once him eye go blur. Oga politics no be to buy cars, do big whine and play sporty bet oooo.”

Another user, @Empires_untold, described the defeat as a political reality check.

“South-East City Boy movement just met ballot box reality.”

The user further added:

“In politics, support is proven at the ballot not on timelines or headlines.”

Some social media users also mocked the businessman over his failed ambition.

@elliot_solution commented:

“He said ‘I am not coming to steal money.’ The party said noted, collected his ₦10 million form fee, and showed him the door.”

Another user, @Talk2_segun, wrote:

“Politics na water. Make him focus on being Davido bouncer.”

Others suggested the outcome was expected from the beginning.

@Nnaoma_ stated:

“We figured he wouldn’t get it from the start.”

Meanwhile, @MrBubes joked:

“‘Money na water’ no fit buy delegates with the money.”

With this development, Cubana Chief Priest will no longer be representing Imo State in the upcoming political endeavors. While this may be a setback, it is important to remember that every challenge is an opportunity for growth. We encourage him not to lose hope, stay resilient, and continue striving for a brighter future.

Persistence and faith in oneself are the keys to overcoming obstacles and achieving greatness.”
