Central Cross River Youths and Okoi Ofem Obono-Obla Call for Shift in Representation Ahead of 2027 Elections

Central Cross River residents, led by Okoi Ofem Obono-Obla, are demanding a change in representation for the senatorial district ahead of the 2027 elections. They criticize the current senator, Eteng Williams, for what they perceive as a failure to adequately represent the people and deliver meaningful dividends of democracy.

Obono-Obla and the youths condemn attempts to maintain the status quo and accuse the media of being manipulated to support the incumbent. They emphasize the need for fresh leadership and denounce the monopolization of political offices in the region.

The statement also highlights the importance of inclusivity, progress, and the empowerment of the youth in political decision-making processes. The call for a shift in representation is aimed at fostering development and addressing the concerns of the community.
