Ubi Franklin, the music executive, has lost the All
Progressives Congress (APC) ticket to represent Yakurr constituency 1 of Cross
River in the house of assembly.
The talent manager and entrepreneur failed to clinch the
ticket after he lost the party primaries that were held in Ugep on Thursday.
Franklin, who is the founder of Made Men Music Group (Triple
MG), a record label, lost to Cyril Omni, the special adviser on security to Ben
Ayade, the governor of the state.
The 36-year-old secured 12 votes against 17 votes garnered
by Omini. Ubi Ubi Itam, another hopeful, came third with 11 votes.
Franklin, who is also the special adviser on tourism to the
Rivers state government, on May 24, received the royal blessing from the paramount
ruler of Yakurr LG.
The music mogul had earlier sparked a wave of reactions on
social media when he announced that he will be contesting for a political
position.
