Nigerian nightlife entrepreneur and socialite, Pascal Okechukwu, popularly known as Cubana Chief Priest, has officially stepped into the political arena with a bold and attention-grabbing declaration.
In a recent statement that has quickly sparked conversations across social media, he made it clear that his intentions are different from the usual narrative associated with politics. According to him, he is not entering the race to enrich himself but to contribute positively to the development of his constituency.
Cubana Chief Priest announced his interest in representing the Orsu, Orlu, and Oru East Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives under the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC). His words, “I am not coming to steal money, I want to add mine to the constituency,†have since resonated with supporters and critics alike, drawing mixed reactions.

Supporters believe his wealth of experience, network, and personal resources could bring a fresh perspective to governance, while skeptics question whether popularity can truly translate into effective leadership.
As the political landscape continues to evolve, all eyes will be on Cubana Chief Priest to see how his campaign unfolds and whether his promise of adding value will convince the electorate.
