CUBANA CHIEFPRIEST ADMITS “FOOLISH ” MISTAKE FOR NOT SUPPORTING TINUBU
By Aishat Momoh. O.

Popular socialite and nightlife entrepreneur Pascal Okechukwu, widely known as Cubana Chiefpriest, has admitted that he made what he described as a “foolish” mistake by not supporting Bola Ahmed Tinubu during the last general election.
Chiefpriest made the remark on Saturday during the South-East leg of the Cityboy Movement tour held in Imo State. He addressed supporters alongside Seyi Tinubu, the son of the Nigerian president.
Speaking to the crowd, the businessman acknowledged that he had previously chosen not to support Tinubu because of ethnic sentiments.
“At the past election, I did not support you. I had to be an Igbo boy. I had to do some careless mistakes,” he said while addressing Seyi Tinubu.
Chiefpriest stated that he and his associates would no longer “waste their votes,” emphasizing that politics should be approached strategically.
“They say first fool don’t be fool, and second fool be proper fool. Politics is a game. It’s a game that you would love to win. We don’t want to lose a game and we will never waste our votes again.”
The nightlife entrepreneur also revealed that Seyi Tinubu had taken him to the Aso Rock Presidential Villa to meet President Tinubu, a moment he said sent a strong message to his critics.
“In my life, you have made a very bold statement by taking me to the villa to meet your father, the president of this country. As my enemies see that picture, they run away,” he said.
Chiefpriest further announced what he described as a partnership between the Cityboy Movement and the federal government, urging greater collaboration rather than political confrontation.
He also praised the governor of Imo State, Hope Uzodimma, crediting the state’s development to its alignment with the federal government.
“Governor Hope Uzodimma has done all these marvellous things for us in Imo because he was able to partner with the government at the centre,” he said.
