From the president down to senate, rep, house etc everyone will start fighting for themselves and still it will be very hard plus the rigging things go sup book this message! Even we Nigerians go chock, forget INEC them go try but e still hard them! Court matter go plenty pass 2023! ![]() |

fergie001:Hope said he will respect zoning across board, starting with himself. He has zoned the Governorship to Owerri, Of course like his Oga Tinubu it is only what favors them. At least we give it to him, he is the first pdp senator from the south east to move to the APC. The man has vision like his name Uzodinma means. |

While there is a lot of buzz surrounding celebrity involvement in Nigerian politics, there is official record or news report confirming that Cubana Chief Priest (Pascal Okechukwu) has run in or lost a House of Representatives primary. However, if we look at the broader landscape of why massive social media celebrities and "showbiz" personalities often struggle when they do transition into party primaries in Nigeria, several structural hurdles usually explain a loss: 1. The Power of Party Delegates vs. Social Media Followers In Nigerian party primaries, the electorate isn't the general public or Instagram followers; it is a highly concentrated pool of local party delegates. These delegates are often entrenched party loyalists who respond to long-term loyalty, local party structures, and traditional political patronage rather than online popularity or celebrity status. 2. Local "Grassroots" Presence and Insecurity Debates To win a primary, a candidate must have deep, consistent roots in the local constituency. Cubana Chief Priest has faced some criticism from sections of his kinsmen in the South-East in recent years, particularly after making comments about relocating his primary business operations to Lagos due to the security situation in the East. In local politics, opponents easily weaponize the narrative that a candidate is an "extracurricular" or "Diaspora" figure who isn't on the ground with the local people. 3. The "Structure" and Godfatherism The APC and PDP structures in states like Imo are heavily controlled by state governors and established political godfathers. If an aspiring politician does not have the explicit endorsement or "blessing" of the state's party leadership structure, even a massive personal fortune and public profile are rarely enough to override the machinery of the party layout. If you saw a specific report or rumor floating around social media regarding a recent primary vote count, it is highly likely speculative or misinformed, as official primary schedules for the next major general election cycle have not yielded such an upset. |
