Socialite Pascal Okechukwu, widely known as Cubana Chiefpriest, has publicly endorsed Governor Ademola Adeleke's re-election bid in Osun State, urging residents to vote for the incumbent in Saturday's poll and to protect their votes after casting them. The endorsement, shared on Wednesday, August 12, 2026, is notable because Chiefpriest is a known supporter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and President Bola Tinubu.
Chiefpriest's Message to Osun Voters
In his post, Chiefpriest dismissed claims that President Tinubu is targeting Osun State, insisting that Governor Adeleke is the right man to complete his projects. He wrote: "Adeleke no be push over oh, Osun vote accordingly for @aadeleke_01. Don’t let anyone tamper with your happiness. make una no mind them oh; them say baba want osun, that’s a big lie baba no dey drag osun with anybody. Just vote & protect your vote to re-elect your superstar governor @aadeleke_01 so he can perfect all what he started. na on Saturday una go know the last man standing on this video, chairmo? wey dey talk less & do more, make una dey come we dey wait. it’s imole."
Governor Adeleke, who is an uncle to music star Davido, is running under the Accord Party (AP) platform, placing him on the opposite side of the political divide from Chiefpriest's usual allegiances. The move signals that Chiefpriest is willing to set aside party lines in favour of personal loyalty to the Adeleke family.
Fan Reactions to the Endorsement
The endorsement drew mixed reactions from followers online, with many praising Chiefpriest for his stance. @only1trentino wrote: "Olon seh this is what I was expecting, I almost thought you wouldn't support David's family on this ?. RESPECT ?" @jemi_bnx commented: "CP I gat love for you for real. Irrespective of party difference, you still stood with the Adelekes."
@nursefab_ said: "That's what politics is all about.. it mustn't be parallel.." @official_ayke shared: "Person wey do well go chop re-election…no be by party….congratulations the Adeleke's" However, @astrorickyarnold2 reacted: "Politics na evil ? it will make someone look stupid, imagine city boy dey campaign against him own party ?"
Chiefpriest's Recent US Property Purchase
In related news, Legit.ng previously reported that Cubana Chiefpriest purchased a home in Houston, Texas, for the benefit of his children. He announced the acquisition on social media, stating that the decision was driven by his family situation rather than a desire to relocate. The flamboyant entertainer's endorsement of Adeleke comes amid his growing public profile, which includes his City Boy Movement associated with President Tinubu.
The endorsement is expected to influence some voters, as Chiefpriest has a significant following. However, the ultimate decision rests with Osun residents, who will head to the polls on Saturday to choose between Adeleke and his main challengers, including APC's Oyebamiji and ADC's Najeem. The outcome will determine whether Adeleke's first term is extended, allowing him to "perfect all what he started."
