Celebrity barman and businessman Cubana Chief Priest has broken his silence amid reactions trailing his failed APC primary election bid for the House of Representatives seat in Imo State.
In a lengthy post shared on his Instagram page, the nightlife entrepreneur addressed criticisms and social media reactions surrounding his political ambition, insisting that he is not indebted to anyone over his aspiration.
“One disturbing dimension of the entire development is that some persons who should ordinarily know better have unfortunately joined in the unnecessary cruise and misinformation. But again, it is only a big name that attracts attention and attempts at dragging.
“Let me state categorically: I am not indebted to anybody over my aspiration. The aspiration was entirely mine, driven by my personal conviction and desire to serve,” he said.
According to him, his decision to contest was driven by personal conviction and a genuine desire to serve his constituency.
He further maintained that despite the outcome of the primary election and criticisms from some quarters, he remains proud of the awareness and political engagement his movement created across the constituency ahead of the polls.
“I have absolutely no regret whatsoever in raising the political stakes and consciousness in our constituency leading to the primaries. Democracy thrives on participation, conviction, and healthy engagement, and I remain proud of the energy and support our movement generated across the constituency.
“For the records, my commitment to the reelection of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in 2027 remains absolute and unwavering. I will continue vigorously with our advocacy and mobilization efforts for the success of the Renewed Hope agenda,” he added.
Cubana Chief Priest’s statement comes amid online backlash following reports that he lost the APC primary election after allegedly polling only 14 votes.
