Nigerian socialite and nightlife entrepreneur Pascal Okechukwu, popularly known as Cubana Chiefpriest, has explained why he is supporting the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) ahead of the 2027 general elections.
His comments came after popular online critic Martins Vincent Otse, also known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), questioned his stance. VDM criticized Cubana Chiefpriest over his backing of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, referencing the socialite’s previous statement that Tinubu would struggle to get votes in the Southeast if political activist Nnamdi Kanu remained imprisoned in Sokoto.
VDM wrote, “MNK still dey Sokoto prison. You don rush go dey campaign for the same President Tinubu,” pointing out what he saw as a contradiction in Cubana Chiefpriest’s position.
Responding, Cubana Chiefpriest defended his decision, stating: “@verydarkblackman I no fit help MNK from opposition. I have always been an APC. My Father Governor Hope has worked so hard with APC for me not to support him as DG Renewed Hope.” He explained that aligning with the ruling party was a strategic move and emphasized his longstanding affiliation with the APC.
He also clarified his political involvement in the last election, saying: “Last election as special adviser to Governor Hope, I worked for Peter Obi. But this time I dey with Asiwaju.”
In addition, Cubana Chiefpriest revealed his own political plans, announcing: “Me self I dey run for federal house for my constituency under APC.”
