Socialite and businessman, Cubana Chief Priest, has lost the All Progressives Congress (APC) ticket for the House of Representatives seat representing Orsu, Orlu and Oru East Federal Constituency in Imo State ahead of the 2027 general election.
Cubana Chief Priest was defeated in the APC primary election by the incumbent lawmaker, Omeogo Canice Moore Nwachukwu, who secured the party’s ticket for the constituency.
The nightlife businessman had in recent months declared his intention to fully join politics under the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
His political ambition drew attention across the South-East and on social media due to his popularity in the entertainment industry.
The socialite, who also coordinates the South-East City Boy Movement, had obtained the APC nomination and expression of interest forms to contest for the federal constituency seat.
He said his interest in politics was connected to youth empowerment and grassroots development in the area.
