Seyi Tinubu, the son of the President, has offered words of comfort to popular socialite and businessman Pascal Okechukwu, widely known as Cubana Chief Priest, following his recent defeat in the All Progressives Congress (APC) House of Representatives primary elections.
Cubana Chief Priest had contested the ticket to represent his federal constituency on the platform of the ruling APC ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Despite mounting a highly publicized and well-funded campaign, he ultimately failed to secure the necessary delegate votes to emerge as the party’s official candidate.
Reacting to the development, Seyi Tinubu took to his social media platforms to encourage the nightlife entrepreneur, urging him to look at the bigger picture and remain steadfast within the party structure.
In a message, he told the socialite to stay strong, reminding him that losing a single battle does not mean the war is lost, and expressed confidence that there are greater opportunities ahead for him.
Cubana Chief Prist loss has sparked widespread conversations regarding the dynamics of party primaries and the influence of entrenched political structures over celebrity popularity.
Despite the setback, associates close to Cubana Chief Priest indicate that the celebrity barman remains committed to supporting the APC and is currently focused on leveraging his influence to drive youth mobilization for the party ahead of the upcoming general elections.
