Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Celebrity socialite and businessman, Pascal Okechukwu, popularly known as Cubana Chief Priest, has revealed that he plans to work against Peter Obi in the 2027 presidential election.<\/p>\n

The socialite, who actively supported the Labour Party candidate in the 2023 polls, made his new position known on his instagram handle during a tense exchange with followers.<\/p>\n

Questions about his recent political shift and involvement with the pro-Tinubu \u2018City Boy Movement\u2019 sparked the online confrontation.<\/p>\n

When a follower asked if he truly intended to work against Obi in the next election, he responded without hesitation.<\/p>\n

\u201cYes ooo hope say no be crime cuz i worked for Obi last election even as special adviser to an APC governor,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

His comment drew backlash, with critics pointing to his previous issues with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.<\/p>\n

Some suggested that aligning with the current administration would not shield him from future scrutiny.<\/p>\n

Responding dismissively, he downplayed the matter, boasting that visiting the anti-graft agency is almost a mark of success.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you never go EFCC for Naija you never make am,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The argument later shifted to the South-East and the question of regional unity during the 2023 election.<\/p>\n

While some commenters insisted Obi might have fared better with stronger backing from influential figures in the region, Cubana Chief Priest fired back angrily, telling critics to support whoever they wish and questioning what tangible development such sentiments had brought to the South-East.<\/p>\n
