The Peoples Democratic Party’s Senator Ogoshi Onawo, representing Nasarawa State, also condemnes Akpabio’s quest to pass some bills hastily.

“Very sensitive bills are brought and are expected to be passed with the speed of light, which is not good for the country.

“Every senator here is supposed to be adequately informed; he does his research and makes a positive contribution, but in a situation where even money bills are brought and expected to be passed within two hours, it wouldn’t be better for the country.

He said: “Sir, you are on the seat today; history will judge you that things like this are not good for this country.”

Responding to Onawo’s comment, Akpabio stated, “If the bills we pass are good for the country, history will judge me right. I don’t think we would come here to pass a bill that’s not good for the interest of Nigerians. So, your point of order is noted.”

Cubana Chief Priest defeated in APC House of Reps primary

Popular socialite and businessman Cubana Chief Priest has lost the All Progressives Congress ticket to contest for the House of Representatives seat for Orsu, Orlu and Oru East Federal Constituency in Imo State.   The celebrity businessman was defeated during the APC primary election by incumbent lawmaker Omeogo Canice Moore Nwachukwu, who retained the party’s ticket for the constituency ahead of the 2027 general election.   Cubana Chief Priest, known for his prominence in Nigeria’s nightlife and entertainment circles, had recently announced plans to enter active politics. His ambition attracted widespread attention, particularly in the South-East, where his popularity and youth outreach campaigns had boosted his profile.   The socialite had formally purchased the APC nomination and expression of interest forms to seek the federal seat. He said his decision to run was driven by a desire to promote youth empowerment and grassroots development across the constituency.   He is also recognised as the coordinator of the South-East City Boy Movement, a political support group linked to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.   The APC primary outcome ends, for now, Cubana Chief Priest’s bid to secure elective office, while Canice Nwachukwu moves forward as the party’s candidate for the federal constituency race in 2027.     ALT TEXT: Cubana Chief Priest after losing APC House of Representatives primary election ticket in Imo State.
