Nigerian socialite and nightlife entrepreneur Pascal Okechukwu aka Cubana Chiefpriest has explained why he is throwing his weight behind the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) ahead of the 2027 general elections.

VDM called out Cubana Chiefpriest over his support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
The TikToker reminded the nightlife businessman of his earlier statement, where he said Tinubu wouldn't get up to 10k votes from the Southeast if political activist Nnamdi Kanu was still locked away in Sokoto prison.
VDM wrote, “MNK still dey Sokoto prison. You don rush go dey campaign for the same President Tinubu,” suggesting that Cubana Chiefpriest’s support contradicted his previous position.
Responding to the criticism, Cubana Chiefpriest said he could not help Nnamdi Kalu from the opposition, insisting that aligning with the ruling party was a strategic decision.
He explained that he has always been a member of the APC and pointed to the influence of Imo state governor Hope Uzodinma, whom he referred to as “my father,” noting that the governor has worked hard for the party.
“@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 wrote.
The socialite also clarified that although he worked for Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi during the last election while serving as a special adviser to Governor Uzodinma, his political allegiance has now shifted fully to the APC.
“Last election as special adviser to Governor Hope, I worked for Peter Obi. But this time I dey with Asiwaju,” he added.
Cubana Chiefpriest further revealed his political ambition, announcing plans to contest for a seat in the House of Representatives under the APC party in his constituency.
“Me self I dey run for federal house for my constituency under APC,” he said.
