Popular nightlife entrepreneur and socialite Cubana Chief Priest has reportedly lost the race for the All Progressives Congress (APC) House of Representatives ticket to incumbent lawmaker Omeogo, in what observers describe as a major political upset.
Details surrounding the party’s internal selection process remain unclear, but early reports indicate that the incumbent secured the party’s backing ahead of the highly anticipated contest.
The development is expected to stir reactions among supporters of Cubana Chief Priest, whose growing political ambition had generated significant attention across social and political circles in recent weeks.
Neither the APC nor the parties involved had issued an official statement at the time of reporting. However, the outcome is already fuelling debate over the influence of celebrity status in Nigeria’s increasingly competitive political landscape.
The contest had drawn widespread public interest, with many closely watching whether the celebrity businessman could successfully transition from entertainment prominence into elective politics.
