Prominent Nigerian businessman and socialite Pascal Okechukwu, widely known as Cubana Chiefpriest, has been spotted with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu during the president's state visit to the United Kingdom. The socialite shared a video on his official Instagram page showing himself alongside President Tinubu and his son Seyi at Nigeria House in London on Wednesday, March 18, 2026.
Video Captures Moment With President and Son
The video shared by Cubana Chiefpriest shows President Tinubu stepping into a luxurious vehicle before being driven away from Nigeria House. Another segment of the clip captures Chiefpriest walking toward Seyi Tinubu alongside other individuals after the president's departure. The socialite used the opportunity to reiterate his strong political support for President Tinubu in the caption accompanying the video.
"The City Boy Is Outside In London?? @officialasiwajubat The Current & Incoming President Of Nigeria?? @itsengrmusty Energy? Na Water? No Vacancy In Villa, Asiwaju Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow & Till 2031," Chiefpriest wrote in his Instagram post, clearly indicating his backing for Tinubu's potential re-election in 2027 and continued presidency until 2031.
Political Alignment and Previous Regret
This public display of support comes after Cubana Chiefpriest previously expressed regret for not backing President Tinubu during the 2023 presidential elections. The socialite has since become more politically active and currently serves as the Imo state coordinator for the City Boys Movement, a pro-Tinubu political group that advocates for the president's policies and potential re-election.
President Bola Tinubu and First Lady Senator Oluremi Tinubu arrived at Stansted Airport on Tuesday, March 17, 2026, marking the beginning of their landmark state visit to the United Kingdom. The visit has attracted several prominent Nigerian figures who have traveled to the UK to meet with the president during his official engagements.
Mixed Reactions From Social Media Users
The video shared by Cubana Chiefpriest has generated significant reactions across social media platforms, with netizens expressing diverse opinions about the socialite's public display of political support.
Some critics questioned Chiefpriest's motives, suggesting his support might be driven by personal interests rather than genuine political conviction. One user commented, "All man Dey fight for their pocket," while another remarked, "You're doing too much man!"
However, other social media users defended Chiefpriest's actions and celebrated his achievements. One supporter wrote, "You may not like Chief-Priest, but you can't deny the fact that this man is gone Nwoke is far far away!!! A pictorial representation that the poor too can dream and achieve through passion, hard work and consistency."
Another commenter praised Chiefpriest's strategic thinking, stating, "Cubana might just be one of the smartest guys out there. He knew Davido is occupied with family and private business lately and moved to Seyi before election officially started."
Community Development and Previous Activities
This political engagement follows Cubana Chiefpriest's recent community development initiatives in his hometown. The businessman previously shared videos of a road he constructed in Owerri, explaining that despite having only one house on that street, he decided to give back to his community through infrastructure development.
Chiefpriest challenged his followers to reflect on their own contributions to their hometowns while offering advice about community service and development. This combination of political engagement and community development has positioned the socialite as a figure who bridges entertainment, business, and political spheres in contemporary Nigerian society.
The presence of Nigerian celebrities and socialites during President Tinubu's international engagements continues to generate public discussion about the intersection of entertainment, politics, and social influence in the country's evolving political landscape.
