In a surprising turn of events, celebrity businessman Pascal Okechukwu, known as Cubana Chief Priest, has publicly clarified his non-participation in the All Progressives Congress (APC) primary election for the Orsu/Orlu/Oru East Federal Constituency seat in Imo State. He stated that he stepped down before the primaries, distancing himself from any political maneuvering.
This revelation comes amid growing speculation surrounding the APC’s candidate selection process, which has faced criticism for its perceived lack of transparency. Cubana Chief Priest's decision not to run has left many supporters wondering about the future of his political ambitions, which had previously garnered significant attention. “I stepped down to focus on my business and community projects,” he emphasized, highlighting his commitment to social responsibility.
As the political landscape in Imo State continues to evolve, the APC will need to address concerns regarding candidate selection to maintain public confidence. With the general elections approaching, the party’s ability to unify its base and present a compelling candidate will be crucial in shaping the future political dynamics of the region.
