Cubana Chief Priest, the socialite, has revealed why he moved beyond online activism to active participation in politics.
In an interview on The Beat FM, the celebrity barman explained that years of making posts and videos only to see no tangible results pushed him to seek a seat at the decision-making table.
“What we have to do at this moment is to go beyond what we used to do,” he said.
“What was done over the years was make a post, make a video, people are going to like and comment… but after that, what happens? Nothing happens.”
Cubana noted that his resources, experience, and influence could be put to better use in governance rather than in ranting online.
“I felt I could go beyond social media posting. I have the energy to participate, I have the energy, money and experience to participate,” he said.
“As someone who has been able to build himself to this standard, as someone who has been able to help brands to better, I felt I could help make a difference at the table where decisions are being made instead of waiting for those decisions to be made and I go ranting on social media.”
Despite failing to clinch the APC ticket for the Orsu/Orlu/Oru east federal constituency at the house of representatives, Cubana dismissed claims that his loyalty to the party has been shaken.
“My support for the party is undiluted, and my support for the president is something that is unshakable,” he said.
“I had to take a proper look at the achievements of APC in my own state. I come from Imo state. I see the contribution of what the president has done.
“A lot of governors now are able to do a lot of things in their states without borrowing money. They have opportunities to get this money that’s being gotten back from subsidy to help them build.”
Earlier in the month, Cubana disclosed that he voluntarily withdrew from the primary race after consultations with party leaders over zoning arrangements that did not favour his local government area.
However, during a Twitch live session with streamer Peller, he claimed President Bola Tinubu does not fully trust him because he once worked for Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 poll.
