In what could be described as a significant political development in Obubra, former Chairman of Obubra Local Government Council, Hon. Nicholas Ayuwa, has reportedly left the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Hon. Ayuwa, a respected political figure from Ochon Ward in Okum Clan, Obubra Constituency II, has built a reputation around grassroots engagement, political mobilization, public appeal, and leadership.
During his tenure as Chairman of Obubra Local Government Council, his administration gained attention for its performance and infrastructural initiatives, further strengthening his political standing within the constituency.
His decision to join the APC is being viewed by party supporters as a major boost to the party's political structure and its candidates across the board, particularly Comr. Richard Romanus, the APC candidate for the Cross River State House of Assembly representing Obubra Constituency II.
The significance of this development goes beyond a simple change of political affiliation. Ayuwa enters the APC with considerable political experience, goodwill, grassroots connections, and a strong support base—factors that could further reshape the political dynamics in Obubra.
For supporters of Comr. Richard Romanus, the development represents another indication of the growing political momentum surrounding his candidacy.
Hon. Nicholas Ayuwa's defection is being celebrated by APC supporters as a special political birthday gift to Comr. Richard Romanus.
Congratulations, Comr. Richard Romanus—the Golden Boy from Oderegha.
