Socialite Cubana Chiefpiest has finally broken his silence after suffering defeat in his political ambition ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The nightlife entrepreneur, whose real name is Pascal Chibuike Okechukwu, had contested for the All Progressives Congress (APC) ticket for the Orsu/Orlu/Oru East federal constituency seat in the House of Representatives.
However, the socialite lost the primary election to the incumbent lawmaker, Canice Moore Nwachukwu, who is currently serving his second term.

Following the result, a Chiefpriest addressed supporters in a now-viral video circulating online.
In the clip, the celebrity businessman admitted that he secured only 14 votes during the primary election.
Despite the disappointing result, he insisted that he had no regrets contesting for the political position because hustling and taking risks had always been part of his life journey.
However, he admitted that one thing deeply hurt him.
According to him, his biggest regret was trusting some elders in the community despite the support and generosity he claimed to have shown them over the years.
He stated:
“I’m a hustler, and I didn’t regret trying to contest for a position. My only regret was trusting the elders in the community. I know how much I gave them, but only 14 people voted for me in the primary.”

“I know how much I gave them” just found out he can’t buy votes this time around When we told y’all this thing and his cohorts don’t have influence in the southeast you people said our mouths are smelling “
@Oni_Okun noted:
“Lmao… Was probably thinking he was fooling the grassroot guys, bribing them with money to become his lackey, meanwhile he was the dinner on the Menu. Again, the guys at the local level are the last people you can fool.”
@Sami_incredibl noted:
“Makes me laugh at Uyo APC boys. They floored him with all his money. It’s you without both a name and a kobo in your account that will get anything from standing on mandate. For the ones I know, I will mock you so publicly. I will be your retribution. See you in a few years.”
