Cross River State APC may find it difficult to win its re-election, particularly, the Obubra/Etung Federal Constituency election.
This is as the candidature of Rt. Hon. Okpechi Friday Gabriel got a boost yesterday the 28th of January, 2023 as the entire members of the People’s Redemption Party PRP Obubra Chapter endorsed his bid for MHR Obubra/Etung Federal Constituency.
The meeting which held at the residence of the PRP chapter Chairman, Mr Sunday Bassey Obo was massively attended by PRP party faithfuls from all the eleven wards of Obubra. The party declared their support for Rt. Hon. Okpechi Friday Gabriel’s candidature and vowed to work for his victory bat the polls.
The Chapter Chairman, Mr Sunday Bassey Obo lamented the fact that Obubra does not have quality representation in the National Assembly. According to him, Obubra for the past nearly eight years have not felt the impact of the sitting MHR. He said this is because our present Representative is timid and lacks the capacity to function in the Green Chambers. As a result, he has not been able to attract any federal attention to Obubra. Mr Obo insisted that it was now time for change and that is why the PRP in Obubra have taken the bold step to support a credible candidate like Rt. Hon. Okpechi Friday Gabriel. He concluded that, “PRP Obubra Chapter will vote massively for the PDP candidate for Obubra/Etung Federal Constituency, Rt. Hon. Okpechi Friday Gabriel.”
