Nigerian socialite and businessman, Pascal Okechukwu, popularly known as Cubana Chiefpriest, has reaffirmed his unwavering support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu ahead of the 2027 presidential election.
Speaking during a recent interview on The Beat 99.9 FM, he defended the President, citing the progress made in his home state of Imo under the current administration. He also revealed that Yoruba people have played a significant role in positively shaping his life.
Although he admitted to supporting former Anambra State Governor Peter Obi during the last general election, the socialite disclosed that he has since changed his stance and is now backing President Tinubu.
He said: “My support for Tinubu is something that’s not shakeable because I had to take a proper look at the achievements of APC in my state. As a Nigerian, I must support all tribes but if you check my life, the best people that have come around my corner and brighten my life are the Yoruba people.
“I supported Peter Obi during the last election, I could actually do better if I’m on this table where these decisions are being made but me being unable to get the ticket, I can support who’s there.”
Not long ago, the Nigerian entrepreneur obtained the APC House of Representatives nomination form to contest for the Orsu/Orlu/Oru East Federal Constituency seat in Imo State.
However, after reportedly losing the bid, he later denied ever officially contesting in the APC primaries.
