The “Celebrity Barman” is officially making moves toward the green chamber. Pascal Okechukwu, popularly known as Cubana Chief Priest, took to Instagram yesterday to announce he has picked up his APC nomination and expression of interest forms for the House of Representatives. To make it official, he stopped by the City Boy Movement headquarters to present his forms to his patron, Seyi Tinubu, the “Okanlomo of Yoruba Land,” for his blessings.
In his signature high-energy style, the nightlife mogul shared photos of the meeting, emphasising his commitment to the “City Boy Movement” and its mission of empowering the Nigerian youth. By seeking the support of such a key political figure, Cubana Chief Priest is showing he’s not just playing around; he’s building the right alliances to take his brand of influence from the club to the National Assembly. He rounded off his announcement with a simple “Chukwu Bu Ike M” (God is my strength), signalling he’s ready for the journey ahead.
This pivot into politics is a major moment for the entertainment scene. It’s clear that Cubana Chief Priest wants to leverage his massive social media following and business hustle to give the youth a louder voice in governance. Watching a heavy hitter from the world of hospitality step into the political ring adds a whole new level of spice to the upcoming elections. Whether he’s shutting down a party or campaigning for votes, the Celebrity Barman is definitely bringing the “noise” to the political arena.
