Celebrity nightlife entrepreneur Cubana Chief Priest has declared his ambition to one day become Governor of Imo State — weeks after stepping down from a House of Representatives primary due to an internal APC zoning arrangement with Governor Hope Uzodimma. In this ThePolicyPulseHQ analysis, we break down the full timeline of his political journey, what the zoning decision really reveals about celebrity access to political power in Nigeria, the strongest case for and against celebrity politicians, and what this growing trend of entertainers entering politics means for Nigeria heading into the 2027 elections. This is not just about one man's ambition — it is about whether Nigeria's political system is rewarding fame over competence. All facts verified from WithinNigeria, Gistlover, Ladunliadi, WestAfricanPilotNews, and OtownGist published between April and June 2026.
