Celebrity businessman Pascal Okechukwu, popularly known as Cubana Chief Priest, has reacted to his loss in the APC House of Representatives primary for the Orsu/Orlu/Oru East Federal Constituency in Imo State, where he scored only 14 votes. In a video clip, he said his only regret was trusting the elders in his community. “I know how much I gave them, but only 14 people voted for me,” he stated, expressing disappointment despite his support for President Bola Tinubu.
Key Points:
Cubana’s loss highlights that financial contributions do not guarantee political victory.
Trusting community elders proved costly, as they allegedly did not deliver votes.
The result has sparked widespread mockery on social media.
His experience may discourage other celebrities from jumping into politics without proper structures.
The defeat suggests grassroots political machinery still trumps star power
