Cubana Chief Priest Declares He Will Work Against Peter Obi in 2027 Election
Celebrity socialite and businessman, Pascal Okechukwu, popularly known as Cubana Chief Priest, has revealed that he intends to work against Peter Obi in the 2027 presidential election. The nightlife entrepreneur, who openly supported the Labour Party candidate during the 2023 general elections, made his new political stance known in a tense exchange with followers on Instagram. Questions about his recent political alignment — particularly his involvement with the pro-Tinubu “City Boy Movement” — triggered reactions from fans who sought clarity on his apparent shift. When one follower directly asked whether he truly planned to oppose Obi in the next election cycle, Cubana Chief Priest responded bluntly. “Yes ooo hope say no be crime cuz I worked for Obi last election even as special adviser to an APC governor,” he wrote. His comment quickly sparked backlash, with critics referencing his past issues with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). Some suggested that aligning with the current administration would not necessarily shield him from scrutiny. Responding dismissively, the socialite downplayed concerns about the anti-graft agency, boasting that being invited by the EFCC is almost a badge of honor. “If you never go EFCC for Naija you never make am,” he said. The debate later shifted to discussions about the South-East’s political unity during the 2023 election. While some commenters argued that Obi might have performed better with stronger backing from influential figures in the region, Cubana Chief Priest fired back, urging critics to support whoever they choose and questioning what tangible development such sentiments had brought to the South-East. His remarks have since stirred conversations online, highlighting the growing political realignments and debates ahead of the 2027 general elections.
