Why Igbos Are Backing Tinubu’s 2027 Re‑Election Bid - Cubana Chief Priest by Pakute(op): 9:18pm On Sep 09

Socialite and businessman Pascal Okechukwu, widely known as Cubana Chief Priest, has spoken out on why he believes the Igbo community will throw its weight behind President Bola Tinubu ahead of the 2027 general elections.

In a video posted to his Instagram page on September 7, 2026, the nightlife entrepreneur addressed APC supporters in Imo state in his capacity as the state Director of the City Boy Movement, a political support group aligned with Tinubu's Renewed Hope agenda.

According to Cubana Chief Priest, the key reason Igbos are rallying around the president is the access they now have to his office through his son, Seyi Tinubu.

"We Igbos now have access to Mr. President Tinubu through his son, Seyi Tinubu. That's why we're doing everything to make sure he's re-elected," he said in the clip.

The celebrity barman also reported that Imo state residents were turning out in large numbers to register with the APC, describing the enthusiasm as a sign of genuine belief in the movement rather than mere political obligation.

"Thousands of Imolites are trooping in for registration for APC. Ndi Imo don't just love the City Boys Movement, they believe in it. Let's do politics with lifestyle. On Asiwaju's mandate, we shall stand. Imo is APC. Here, it's zero competition," he added.

His caption echoed these sentiments, with Cubana Chief Priest stating that he had relocated back home to personally ensure APC's success in the state and that registration queues had been too long to clear in a single day.

"I Have Moved Back Home To Make Sure I Deliver @officialasiwajubat It Was A Very Busy Day At The Office Today, We Had Thousands Of Imolites Trooping In For Registration. Ndi IMO Don’t Just Love @cityboy.movement They Believe In It So They Want To Be Part Of It. We Couldn’t Register All But Tomorrow Is Another Day See Y’all At The Office Tomorrow Let’s Do Politics With Lifestyle. On Asiwaju’s Mandate We Shall Stand. IMO Is 💯 APC, Here It’s Zero Competition."

Pascal Okechukwu Has always been a man after God’s heart.

He has made sacrifices, risked it all, and gone extra miles to make sure the dividends of democracy gets delivered to his people.

I am was not shocked when he joined the train of His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR) because I know him for always being on the winning side.

He is entitled to his delusion.

Take a look at his main reason, then you can understand the dude has nothing upstairs.
What in the hell is 'have access to presidential office through Seyi'?

Cubana Chief Priest has every right to support whoever he chooses. But he should stop speaking on behalf of “the Igbos.

At no point was he appointed spokesperson for the Igbos. Supporting a candidate is a personal choice

He's right
We have Igbos like him, Obi Cubana, Zack Orji, Peter Mbah, Orji Uzor Kalu, and others backing BAT for 2027

That is entirely different from saying that the Igbo race is backing TInubu

Igbos have long been marginalized and for some of the politicians, partnering or pitching their tents with Mr. President will amplify their chances of leaving the periphery and getting to the center

According to this Olodo pro MAX, Seyi is now Jesus through whom you have access to the father (the president).

Igbo's can never back Tinubu's reelection. Just as he was rejected in 2023 and Buhari was rejected back to back, so will Tinubu be rejected in 2027 in the East.

We heard the same rythorics during Buhari's second term campaign but still, Buhari flopped woefully in the East. So will be Tinubu's fate.

Umahi has became a musician singing the song (why Tinubu will be voted massively in the East). He sings it in the morning, afternoon and evening. Now this one...
