Cubana Chief Priest, whose real name is Pascal Okechukwu, has denied reports claiming he contested and lost the APC House of Representatives primary election for the Orsu/Orlu/Oru East Federal Constituency in Imo State. He says he never completed the race and withdrew before the voting process was concluded.
News reports had linked him to the All Progressives Congress (APC) primary, suggesting he was defeated by the incumbent lawmaker, Canice Moore Nwachukwu (Omeogo). That report spread quickly across social media, leading to confusion about whether he actually participated or not.
Did Cubana Chief Priest really contest the APC primary?
Cubana Chief Priest says he did not fully participate in the APC primary election. His position is that he stepped away from the process before the final contest took place.
Reports circulating online claimed he was part of the lineup of aspirants and polled a small number of votes. Those reports also stated that Canice Moore Nwachukwu secured the ticket for the 2027 House of Representatives election under the APC platform.
His response challenges that version of events, stating that he never remained in the race up to the point where votes were cast or counted against him.
Why are people saying he lost the election?
Talk around Cubana Chief Priest and the APC primary started after lists of aspirants and alleged vote counts were shared on social media platforms. Some political blogs and online posts grouped his name among contestants and attached results showing a low vote tally.
That information created the impression that he participated fully in the primary and lost. The spread of those reports made the story trend, especially among entertainment and political news audiences in Nigeria.
What Cubana Chief Priest said about the reports
Pascal Okechukwu addressed the claims directly, stating that he withdrew from the race before the APC primary election was concluded. His statement focuses on correcting the idea that he was defeated at the polls.
He maintains that his political involvement in this case was cut short and should not be described as an electoral loss.
Who won the APC House of Reps primary in Imo State?
Reports indicate that Canice Moore Nwachukwu (Omeogo), the sitting lawmaker, secured the APC ticket for the Orsu/Orlu/Oru East Federal Constituency. He is expected to represent the party heading into the 2027 general elections if confirmed as flagbearer.
His emergence as the winner is the part of the story that remains consistent across multiple reports, even as Cubana Chief Priest disputes his own level of involvement in the contest.
