Socialite, entrepreneur, and nightlife promoter Pascal Chibuike Okechukwu, popularly known as Cubana Chief Priest, has expressed regret over his decision not to support President Bola Tinubu during the last general election, saying he made a “mistake”.
He made this known recently while speaking during a political gathering in Owerri, the capital of Imo State.
According to him, he has now resolved to adopt a new political approach focused on working with the Federal Government, instead of remaining in the opposition.
The businessman went on to describe the Imo event as the result of weeks of planning, saying it symbolised the growing unity and support for the current administration.
Chief Priest added that the decision to change strategy was informed by the fact that years in political opposition had not produced the desired results.

“We have decided to partner with the government at the centre. We are not ready to fight. We tried fighting and it didn’t work for us,” he said.
He also praised Hope Uzodimma, the Governor of Imo State, for maintaining a close relationship with the Federal Government, noting that such cooperation has helped bring development to the state.
He further commended Seyi Tinubu, whom he described as a unifying figure playing a role in strengthening relationships across ethnic and regional lines.
While reflecting on the last election, Chief Priest acknowledged that he had previously opposed Tinubu but now considers that decision a political miscalculation.
“Politics is a game… we don’t want to lose again and we will never waste our votes again,” he said.
He concluded by offering prayers for Tinubu’s success in office and called on Nigerians to embrace unity, cooperation, and partnership as the nation moves forward.
