Celebrity businessman and nightlife promoter, Pascal Okechukwu, has failed to secure the All Progressives Congress (APC) ticket for the House of Representatives seat covering Orsu/Orlu/Oru East Federal Constituency in Imo State, marking an early setback in his political debut.
The primary election outcome ended his bid to represent the constituency under the All Progressives Congress platform, as established political contenders edged ahead in a contest that drew significant public attention due to his high-profile entry into politics.
Reactions have since trailed the result across social media, with commentators divided between those viewing it as a lesson in Nigeria’s competitive party structure and others urging him not to abandon his political ambition.
