Seyi Tinubu, the son of President Bola Tinubu, has publicly reacted to the defeat suffered by celebrity businessman and socialite, Pascal Okechukwu, widely known as Cubana Chief Priest, in the All Progressives Congress (APC) primary election.
The nightlife mogul had entered the race to secure the ruling party’s ticket for the Orsu/Orlu/Oru East Federal Constituency seat in Imo State ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Cubana Chief Priest, who actively serves as the Imo State Coordinator of the City Boys Movement, was soundly defeated by the incumbent lawmaker representing the constituency, Canice Nwachukwu, after managing to secure just 14 votes from the delegates.

Reacting to the surprising outcome of the polls, Seyi Tinubu took to his official Instagram page on Sunday to send a powerful message of encouragement to the socialite, which Cubana Chief Priest later appreciated and reposted on his own handle.
“Bro, sometimes by losing a battle, you find a new way to win the war. Keep your head up @cubana_chiefpriest. We know what you are capable of achieving,” Seyi Tinubu wrote to comfort him.
The heavy defeat of the celebrity bartender has since triggered a massive wave of commentary across various social media platforms.
A segment of internet users took the opportunity to mock the socialite, pointing out his inability to clinch the ticket despite his loud, high-profile public support for the presidency and the ruling party.
