Nigerian socialite Pascal Okechukwu, widely known as Cubana Chief Priest, has taken steps toward a political career by declaring his interest in contesting for a seat in the House of Representatives.
The nightlife entrepreneur made the move public during a visit to the All Progressives Congress (APC) secretariat in Imo State, where he engaged party officials and formally unveiled his ambition to represent the Oru East/Orsu/Orlu federal constituency in the 2027 elections.
In a video shared online, he disclosed that he had communicated his intentions to party leaders, who responded positively to his aspiration.
“Stopped by our great party, APC, state secretariat to congratulate and encourage our state working committee on their emergence. Above all, I made known to them my humble aspiration to represent my people, the good people of Orsu, Orlu and Oru East Federal Constituency, at the House of Representatives,” he said.
“Na God get power; let the will of God be done. From our party women’s mouths to the mouth of God.”
During the visit, a party chieftain commended his energy and influence, describing him as someone capable of excelling in multiple fields, including politics.
“I don’t know if you’re a motivational speaker, a businessman, or a politician; you fit into all of them. In the short time we were involved in the City Boy movement, you could see the light you brought into the place,” the party leader said.
“You are very proud to be associated with the party; you speak about it proudly, and I’m sure that will speak for you. And we will support you.”
Cubana Chief Priest has recently been vocal in his support for the ruling party and currently serves as the Imo director of the City Boy Movement, a group mobilising youth support for President Bola Tinubu’s re-election.
His political move follows a similar declaration by Nollywood actor Zubby Michael, who is also seeking a legislative seat under a different party.
