Cubana Chief Priest sparks an intense online debate after claiming President Tinubu distrusts him because he is Igbo, despite his current loyalty to the APC.
- In a live session with content creator Peller, Cubana Chief Priest alleged that top political structures and President Tinubu view him with scepticism because of his Igbo heritage and his past support for Peter Obi.
- Despite feeling sidelined, Chief Priest declared his absolute loyalty to the APC and Tinubu’s second-term bid. Dismissing rumours that he lost a recent House of Representatives primary as total fabrication, the businessman urged young Nigerians to stop hiding behind social media comments, register with political parties, and actively participate in local government.
Popular social media personality and businessman Pascal Chibuike Okechukwu, widely known as Cubana Chiefpriest, has stirred up fresh conversations online after making candid remarks about his political journey and Nigeria’s complex ethnic landscape.
Speaking during a live video session with 21-year-old content creator Peller, the self-acclaimed “Celebrity Barman” opened up about his experiences within the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and his perceptions of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s stance toward the Igbo community.

‘They look at me with one eye’
Reflecting on his recent political outings, Cubana Chiefpriest claimed that top political structures view him with scepticism due to his ethnicity and past political alignments.
“Tinubu don’t really trust me. As an Igbo man, they look me with one eye because they believe I work for people,” he stated during the stream.
When Peller pushed further, asking if this distrust stemmed from his previous public support for the Labour Party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi, during the 2023 elections, Chiefpriest did not deny the impact of his past choices.
However, he emphasised that his current allegiance lies firmly with the APC.
