Socialite Pascal Okechukwu, aka Cubana Chiefpriest, has thrown his weight behind Governor Ademola Adeleke's re-election bid in Osun state, urging residents to vote for the incumbent governor ahead of Saturday's poll and to protect their votes after casting them.
In the post shared on Wednesday, August 12, 2026, Chiefpriest seemingly denied the claim that President Tinubu was targeting Osun, insisting the governor remains the right man to complete what he started.

"Adeleke no be push over oh, Osun vote accordingly for @aadeleke_01. Don’t let anyone tamper with your happiness. make una no mind them oh; them say baba want osun, that’s a big lie baba no dey drag osun with anybody. Just vote & protect your vote to re-elect your superstar governor @aadeleke_01 so he can perfect all what he started. na on Saturday una go know the last man standing on this video, chairmo🫡 wey dey talk less & do more, make una dey come we dey wait. it’s imole," he wrote.
Why the Post Turned Heads
What made the endorsement particularly striking is Chiefpriest's long-standing association with the All Progressives Congress (APC) and his public loyalty to President Bola Tinubu, through the City Boy Movement.
Governor Adeleke, Davido's uncle, is running on the platform of the Accord Party (AP), placing him squarely on the opposite side of the political fence from Chiefpriest's usual allegiances.
The move signalled that Chiefpriest was willing to set aside party lines in favour of personal loyalty to the Adeleke family, a stance that drew both admiration and ridicule from followers online.
