Aloy Ejimakor, lawyer for the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has shared his thoughts on the loss of celebrity businessman Pascal Okechukwu, aka Chiefpriest, in the All Progressives Congress (APC) House of Representatives primary election.
Chiefpriest lost his bid to secure the APC House of Representatives ticket for Orsu/Orlu/Oru East Federal Constituency of Imo State.
PrimeTimes Nigeria reports that the celebrity businessman claimed he did not lose the election, saying he stepped aside after accepting the party’s zoning arrangement.
According to him, the party’s decision reached him in the early hours of Saturday, before the primary was held, stressing that he was never seen at the election venue.
Reacting in a post on his verified 𝕏 handle on Monday, Ejimakor said Chiefpriest loss showed that Ndigbo, including those in APC, were deeply unhappy with President Bola Tinubu.
He said, “Cubana’s epic loss of the APC primary, despite his open fraternity with Seyi Tinubu is proof that Ndigbo (including those in APC) are deeply unhappy with President Tinubu.
“So, it’s Tinubu that actually lost & it’s an early evidence of what will happen in 2027, as I had earlier foretold. And we all know why.”
