Geoffrey Ndubuisi Nwobu (INEC: Nwobu Geoffery Ndubuisi), often styled Chief and Obuka Awka, is the African Democratic Congress (ADC) candidate for Anambra Central Senatorial District in the Senate election of 16 January 2027 (INEC final list, 12 September 2026). INEC lists him as a 65-year-old man whose declared qualifications are the Primary School Leaving Certificate, a WAEC school certificate and a BSc. He is an Awka hotelier: chairman and chief executive of De Geogold Hotel and Suites, Awka (described as CEO/MD in 2017; over 80 staff in 2019) and a member of the board of trustees of the Anambra State Hoteliers Association. Daily Trust described him in 2017 as a former executive chairman of Awka South Local Government; the years were not found. He was declared Anambra State chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) at a disputed state congress on the night of 4 December 2017, after his rival stepped down; the outgoing state chairman, Chukwudi Umeaba, said he had suspended that congress. Nwobu later cited a 24 May 2018 FCT High Court judgment (Justice A.O. Musa) upholding the executive elected that night. In September 2018 he accepted the chairmanship of a caretaker committee installed by the national leadership, which split his own executive: protesters called him a sellout, police sealed the party secretariat in Awka on 12 September 2018 and reopened it on 16 September, and Nwobu blamed opponents. On 9 June 2021 the FCT High Court, in a suit by Samuel Anyakorah in which Nwobu was a defendant, nullified the designation of the state executive, and the national leadership dissolved it; Nwobu called the judgment one that "cannot stand". The Court of Appeal in Abuja set it aside on 30 July 2021 for lack of territorial jurisdiction, restoring him as chairman and Valentine Ozigbo as the PDP governorship candidate. Endorsed for another term before the 2022 state congress, he was described as a former chairman by 31 March 2022. On 7 June 2023, as the PDP's state collation agent for the 2023 presidential election, he testified as Atiku Abubakar's eleventh witness at the Presidential Election Petition Court. In May 2025 he was secretary of the PDP Elders Council. By 3 June 2025 he had moved to the ADC as running mate to John (Chuma) Nwosu, who had become the party's governorship candidate at a substitution primary on 23 May 2025. In the governorship election of 8 November 2025 INEC declared APGA's Charles Soludo and his deputy Onyekachukwu Ibezim the winners; Soludo polled 422,664 votes and the ADC ticket 8,208. In February 2026 he joined the ADC's national policy and manifesto committee. He has remained one of the ADC's leaders in Anambra, staying with the David Mark-led national leadership after Peter Obi's move to the NDC (May 2026) and backing Atiku Abubakar's 2027 presidential ticket. The date and votes of his 2026 ADC senatorial primary were not found.

Endorsed by the party's 2019 Assembly candidates for the 2022 state congress, he was described as a former chairman by 31 Mar 2022, and Okey Asolo was acting chairman of the Nwobu-led faction in April 2022.
