\n\nPopular Nigerian socialite and entertainer Pascal Chibuike Okechukwu, better known as Cubana Chief Priest, has been appointed as the Imo State Director of the City Boy Movement (CBM), a youth-oriented support group backing President Bola Tinubu’s re-election efforts toward the 2027 general elections. The appointment was announced by the movement on its official social media platforms on Saturday, February 7, 2026.
The City Boy Movement, which mobilises young voters in support of the President’s Renewed Hope Agenda, described Cubana Chief Priest as an influential addition to its leadership structure, citing his experience, visibility among youth, and people-centred approach to grassroots engagement. In the announcement, the group also emphasised his strategic leadership qualities and commitment to community mobilisation.
In his new role, Cubana Chief Priest is expected to lead efforts to strengthen CBM’s organisational framework in Imo, facilitate active participation of young citizens in politics, and deepen support for the administration’s policies in the state. Supporters believe his strong social media presence and celebrity status will help rally youth engagement and visibility for the movement’s initiatives.
The appointment comes amid heightened political activity across the country as various support groups and political stakeholders build momentum for the 2027 elections. The City Boy Movement has been particularly active in recent months, recruiting influential personalities to bolster its profile and expand its reach among Nigeria’s burgeoning youth demographic.
While the move has generated excitement among some supporters, it has also sparked debate online about the growing involvement of entertainers and social media influencers in partisan politics as Nigeria ramps up for another intense election cycle.
