After only three months as a member of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, Senator Stella Oduah, representing Anambra North in the upper chamber, has dumped the party for PDP.
The multi millionaire businesswoman who was a former Minister of Aviation attributed her defection to her old party, People’s Democratic Party, to APGA’s poor ideology.
Hear Oduah, who no doubt, is one of the richest female members of this Senate as well as the owner of Sea Petroleum and Gas:
“Politics has always been about ideology and delivering service to the people for me, because I believe leadership is all about solving problems,” she had begun.
“Political platforms must afford members unfettered opportunity to participate in the electoral process and to solve the problems of their community, constituency and state.
“I joined APGA because I thought it had sound ideological leanings native to Igboland. But my ideological expectations were a mirage. I discovered that internal democracy, which will guarantee justice, fairness and equity, was also not in practice in the party.
“After due consultations and with respect to my religious beliefs, I announce that PDP remains the vehicle through which I will keep fulfilling my mandate to the people of Anambra North. Thank you.”
Ms Oduah had dumped PDP for APGA in June. But now she’s back again to her former party, through which she first became a Minister and later Senator.
