The Digest:
Celebrity barman Pascal Okechukwu, known as Cubana Chief Priest, has boasted about receiving a brand new luxury car as compensation for losing the APC House of Representatives primary in Imo State, where he scored only 14 votes out of 2,800. During a livestream with Peller, he said one of his party chairmen bought him the car as a perk for losing, with delivery expected the next day. He explained that he switched his support from Peter Obi to President Tinubu because he “didn’t want to keep losing”, adding that Tinubu cannot be moved from power.
Key Points:
- Cubana Chief Priest received a car as a consolation prize for a humiliating electoral defeat.
- He openly admits switching political loyalty to avoid losing, not out of conviction.
- His statement that Tinubu “cannot be moved” reflects a belief in the president’s political invincibility.
- Dismissing trolls while celebrating material perks shows a transactional view of politics.
- Hinting at bigger ambitions (governorship) despite poor primary performance suggests overconfidence.
