Cubana Chiefpriest Calls for APC Alliances Ahead of 2027

Pascal Okechukwu, known as Cubana Chiefpriest, called on the All Progressives Congress (APC) to strengthen ties with the FCT Minister and establish cross-party alliances in preparation for the 2027 general elections. In an Instagram story dated September 16, he stressed that President Tinubu's re-election bid would require votes from the Peoples Democratic Party and the Accord Party.

He highlighted the importance of collaboration, particularly in states like Ebonyi and Imo, where the APC risks losing support without partnerships with opposition figures. Chiefpriest indicated that his loyalty lies with candidates who have electoral value rather than strict party affiliation.

His remarks followed comments from Hope Uzodimma, the Imo State Governor and Chairman of the Forum, who stated that APC governors would not support any arrangement that undermines Tinubu's re-election. Wike's response to the governors' stance has further escalated tensions, which could complicate Tinubu's path to a second term if unresolved.
