Cubana Chief Priest Regrets Trusting Community Elders After APC Primary Loss

Cubana Chief Priest lost the APC primary for the Orsu/Orlu/Oru East Federal Constituency seat in Imo State. He says he doesn’t regret running but regrets trusting local elders. “I’m a hustler. I didn’t regret contesting, but only 14 people voted for me,” he said in a recent viral video. He launched his campaign earlier to champion cleaner, issue-based politics led by young Nigerians. His defeat sparked mixed reactions online, with some mocking him and others encouraging him to try again.

Focusing on grassroots outreach and building genuine local connections could improve campaigning results more than relying solely on elders' endorsements.
