Seyi Tinubu has responded to Pascal Okechukwu’s (also known as Cubana Chief Priest) loss in the All Progressives Congress primary for a House of Representatives seat.
Cubana Chief Priest was seeking the APC ticket for the Orsu/Orlu/Oru East Federal Constituency of Imo State ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The socialite, who serves as the Imo State Coordinator of the City Boys Movement, lost to the incumbent lawmaker representing the constituency, Canice Nwachukwu, after polling 14 votes.
Reacting to the outcome, Seyi shared a message of encouragement to the nightlife promoter in a post on his Instagram page on Sunday, which Cubana later reposted.
“Bro, sometimes by losing a battle, you find a new way to win the war. Keep your head up @cubana_chiefpriest. We know what you are capable of achieving,” Seyi wrote.
The APC aspirant had earlier reacted to the primary election result in a video circulating online, saying he had no regrets contesting for the position.
“I’m a hustler, and I don’t regret trying to contest for a position. My only regret was trusting the elders in the community.
“I know how much I gave them, but only 14 people voted for me in the primary,” he said.
The Cubana Chief Priest’s defeat sparked reactions on social media, with some users mocking his inability to secure the APC ticket despite his public support for the president.
