The Digest:
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
