The People's Demand Initiative (PDI) has urged Princess Hadiza Musa Ujah Offoboche to contest the Ogoja/Yala Federal Constituency seat in the 2027 general elections. The appeal was made during simultaneous press briefings held on Saturday in Abuja and Yala, Cross River state, attended by members from both Ogoja and Yala chapters. Speaking in Abuja, PDI spokesperson Comrade Patrick Livingston cited Offoboche's humanitarian work, grassroots engagement, and strategic connections as key reasons for the call. He highlighted her foundation's contributions, including supplying medical equipment to local health centres, distributing educational materials to underprivileged pupils, and providing financial support to women for small-scale businesses in the Northern District of Cross River. Livingston said her consistent community visits and outreach programmes have boosted her visibility and acceptance among constituents.
Miss Ajegi, a PDI member, described Offoboche as empathetic and committed, stating, "Her consistency and selflessness should translate into a platform where she can do more for the people." The group also pointed to her membership in the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Cross River as a strategic asset, linking her involvement to grassroots mobilisation for Governor Bassey Edet Otu's administration and the initiatives of First Lady Eyoawan Bassey Otu. At the Yala event, moderated by Comrade Austin Imoke, participants stressed the need for a candidate with empathy and a development focus, framing Offoboche's potential run as a logical step from philanthropy to political leadership. PDI stated that growing constituent support underscores the urgency for her to enter the race as political activities for 2027 gain momentum.
