Eyaba Emerges Obubra Coordinator of Evidence Group, Promises Stronger Grassroots Mobilisation

The former Chapter Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Obubra, Joseph Eyaba, has been appointed the Obubra Coordinator of the Evidence Group, a youth-oriented political mobilisation platform committed to supporting the re-election of President Tinubu, Governor Otu, and other APC candidates across the state in the 2027 general elections.

Eyaba's appointment was contained in a statement signed by the group's Director of Media and Publicity, Comrade Andre Ekeng Inyang, and shared across various social media platforms, culminating in the official presentation of the appointment letter on Thursday night at the residence of the group's convener, Mr. Dominic Edem Bassey.

Presenting the letter to Eyaba and 17 other newly appointed coordinators, Bassey charged them to remain committed to the ideals of the group and take the mobilisation of young people across their respective local government areas seriously.

Bassey, who also serves as Special Adviser to the Governor on Governor's Office, said the Evidence Group would continue to provide a platform for young people to participate actively in the political process while mobilising support for the APC ahead of the 2027 elections.

He urged the newly appointed coordinators to take the responsibility entrusted to them seriously and ensure that the group's activities extend beyond major political gatherings to the grassroots.

Responding, the newly appointed Obubra Coordinator, Joseph Eyaba, expressed appreciation to the leadership of the group for the confidence reposed in him and pledged to work with stakeholders, party members, youths and other members of the group across Obubra to strengthen its grassroots structure and advance its objectives.

Eyaba said the appointment would further encourage him to contribute his experience, energy and organisational capacity towards building a strong and effective mobilisation network across the local government area.

He maintained that the task ahead requires collective effort, regular engagement with young people and a coordinated approach to grassroots mobilisation and assured the leadership of the group that he would work to ensure that Obubra plays an active role in its statewide activities and mobilisation programmes.

The appointment comes a few weeks after the group announced its presence in Cross River State with a One Million-Man Walk in solidarity with President Tinubu and Governor Otu. The exercise attracted thousands of young people from different parts of the state to Calabar, highlighting the growing interest of young people in political participation and governance.

The mobilisation also provided a platform for young people to express their support for policies and programmes they believe can promote youth empowerment, inclusion and opportunities for growth.

With the 2027 general elections approaching, the Evidence Group is expanding its coordination structure across Cross River State as it continues to mobilise young people and strengthen its presence at the grassroots.
