Social media star "Dem Wa Facebook" (Millicent Ayuwa) announces an independent run for Woman Rep in 2027, challenging the political establishment with a youth-focused manifesto.

The line between content creation and legislation continues to blur. Millicent Ayuwa Obaya, the social media sensation better known as "Dem Wa Facebook," has formally thrown her hat into the political ring, announcing her candidacy for Woman Representative in the 2027 General Election.
In an Instagram post that instantly went viral, the comedian declared she would run as an independent candidate, bypassing the traditional party machinery. "2027 iko sawa ama tungoje 2032?" (Is 2027 okay or should we wait for 2032?) she posed to her followers, signaling a campaign driven by digital engagement rather than political godfathers.
Critics might dismiss her as a joker, but her manifesto suggests she is serious. Ayuwa outlined a four-point agenda focused on transparency, women's economic empowerment, youth inclusion, and "representation and voice."
The transition from skit-making to law-making is treacherous. While she has the visibility, she faces the uphill task of proving she understands the legislative process and the intricacies of the National Government Affirmative Action Fund (NGAAF). However, in a political landscape where traditional leaders have disappointed, "Dem Wa Facebook" is betting that the electorate is ready to take a joke seriously.
