Nigerian socialite and upcoming singer Pascal Okechukwu, popularly known as Cubana Chiefpriest, has described his support for President Bola Tinubu as unshakeable ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Chiefpriest made this known during an interview on The Beat 99.9 FM as he defended Tinubu, citing the president's administration's achievements in his state (Imo.) The socialite also stated that the Yoruba people have positively influenced his life.

While he acknowledged backing former Anambra governor, Peter Obi, during the 2023 elections, Chiefpriest argued that he now supports Tinubu as a Nigerian who must back all tribes regardless of origin.

“My support for Tinubu is something that’s not shakeable because I had to take a proper look at the achievements of APC in my state. As a Nigerian, I must support all tribes but if you check my life, the best people that have come around my corner and brighten my life are the Yoruba people. I supported Peter Obi during the last election, I could actually do better if I’m on this table where these decisions are being made but me being unable to get the ticket, I can support who’s there," he said.

Recall that Cubana Chiefpriest had previously picked up the All Progressives Congress (APC) House of Representatives nomination form to contest for the Orsu/Orlu/Oru East Federal Constituency in Imo State. He later lost the bid and told his fans that he never truly contested.
