A popular social media influencer and political blogger, Comrade Chika Nwoba, has announced his intention to vie for the position of National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). As the PDP gears up for a leadership overhaul, Nwoba promises to bring a fresh approach to the party’s media presence, leveraging his vast experience in political communication and digital media.
Nwoba, a two-term Publicity Secretary and former Director of Media for the Ebonyi State PDP, highlighted his extensive track record during a press meeting on Sunday in Abakaliki. He emphasized his commitment to reshaping the PDP into the leading opposition party across West Africa, using his expertise to amplify the party’s voice on both local and international platforms.
“I have been a loyal member of the PDP since 2014, and my tenure in the leadership of Ebonyi State PDP speaks volumes. I served as the first and only Director of Publicity in our state chapter, and later as Publicity Secretary. In the last presidential election, I held dual roles as Director of Publicity for the PDP Presidential Campaign Council in Ebonyi and Director of New Media during the 2023 gubernatorial race,” Nwoba explained.
Known for his dynamic activism and strong presence in new media, Nwoba underscored his ambition to elevate the PDP’s image through strategic media engagement. “If elected as National Publicity Secretary, I will utilize my skills in media strategy and political advocacy to project the PDP’s core values and defend the party ideologically. I am committed to using my platform to communicate the importance of the PDP in restoring Nigeria’s democracy at the federal, state, and local levels.”
Nwoba also addressed his vision for reestablishing a close relationship between the PDP and media practitioners, ensuring that the party’s message reaches every corner of Nigeria and beyond. “As someone who champions democratic ideals, I will serve as a voice for the Nigerian people, holding the current administration accountable for its policies and actions. The PDP must stand as a beacon for change, and I will work tirelessly to market the party as the solution to Nigeria’s challenges.”
In addition to strengthening the PDP’s media relations, Nwoba aims to foster alliances with civil society groups and activists to intensify the fight for democratic governance. “With my youthful energy and extensive experience, I will engage civil society organizations to rally for better governance. The PDP’s success lies in uniting all progressive forces to return democracy to the forefront of Nigerian politics.” He added
