Socialite and businessman Pascal Okechukwu, popularly known as Cubana Chief Priest, has officially joined the politics following his appointment as the Imo State Director of the City Boy Movement (CBM). The group, which is a major youth-led organization dedicated to supporting President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, announced the move on their official Instagram page, signaling an early start to mobilization efforts for the president’s 2027 re-election bid.
The movement explained that the “Celebrity Barman” was chosen because of his massive influence and his ability to connect with people at the grassroots level. According to the CBM, Cubana Chief Priest represents dedication and strategic leadership, qualities they believe are essential for promoting the “Renewed Hope” agenda in the Southeast.
In his new role, he is expected to lead campaigns, strengthen local political structures, and encourage younger Nigerians in Imo State to get more involved in the current administration’s objectives.
This appointment marks a significant step for the socialite, who is known for his luxury lifestyle and close ties to several high-profile individuals across the country.
The City Boy Movement expressed confidence that with the Chief Priest at the helm in Imo, the state is well-positioned for “sustained political engagement” and unity.
Fans and political observers are already reacting to the news, with many curious to see how his “people-centered approach” will translate from the world of entertainment into the complex field of Nigerian politics.
