Pascal Okechukwu, the Nigerian socialite known as Cubana Chief Priest, has lost the All Progressives Congress (APC) primary election for a seat in the house of representatives.
Cubana was vying to be APC’s candidate for the Orsu/Orlu/Oru
East federal constituency seat in the House of Representatives in the 2027
general elections.
He lost the party ticket to Canice More Nwachukwu, the
incumbent representative of the constituency who is currently serving his
second term.
Cubana formally declared his political ambition in late
April 2026 after purchasing the APC’s expression of interest and nomination
forms.
He was a former aide to Hope Uzodinma, the governor of Imo.
However, during a meeting with the aspirants on Thursday, the governor failed
to declare favourites but urged them to go to the field and test their
popularity.
Cubana has been vocal about his support for the current
government and the ruling party.
The socialite was appointed as the Imo director of City Boy
Movement (CBM), a youth-oriented support group for Tinubu’s re-election
campaign.
