The Akwa Ibom State representative at the Commission, Obonganwan Dora, is an astute woman mobilizer who was first appointed by the immediate-past President, His Excellency, Muhammadu Buhari.
Before her first appointment, Obonganwan Dora has been a staunch chieftain of the opposition All Progressives Congress, APC, in Akwa Ibom State.
She is a founding member of the APC in the state having been a strong member of the now defunct Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), one of the legacy blocs that formed the APC.
She was one of the strongest contenders for the Uyo Federal Constituency seat in 2015 on the APC platform, but lost the primaries to Hon. Edwin Joseph who was then member, representing Uyo State Constituency in Akwa Ibom State House of Assembly.
