Popular socialite and businessman Cubana Chief Priest, whose real name is Pascal Okechukwu, is currently trending online after reportedly losing the APC House of Representatives primary election for the Orsu/Orlu/Oru East Federal Constituency in Imo State.
The celebrity businessman had earlier declared his intention to contest ahead of the 2027 general elections under the All Progressives Congress, APC.
Reports indicate that he purchased the party’s nomination forms and successfully completed the screening process earlier this month before participating in the primary election.
However, Cubana Chief Priest reportedly lost during the party primaries, triggering massive reactions across social media platforms.
The development quickly became a trending topic online, with users sharing mixed reactions, memes, and commentary about the outcome.
Adding to the online drama, his alleged baby mama, Helen, reportedly went live on Instagram mocking him over the defeat.
Many social media users reacted to the loss by referencing his close association with the “City Boys” political movement and his public support for President Bola Tinubu.
While some critics mocked the businessman over the outcome despite his popularity and influence, others defended him, stating that political contests are unpredictable and that losing a primary election is part of the democratic process.
Cubana Chief Priest’s political ambition had already attracted attention in recent months due to his transition from entertainment and nightlife business into active politics.
