Stella Oduah Gives Reasons For Returning To PDP

Senator Oduah returned to the PDP four months after she joined the APGA.

The senator representing Anambra north senatorial district surprised many political watchers when she showed up for the ongoing screening for PDP candidates ahead of the 2019 general elections.

The Senator representing Anambra north senatorial district, Stella Oduah, has given reasons why she left All Progressive Grand Alliance to join the Peoples Democratic Party again.

Oduah shortly after picking her form at the PDP Secretariat said she had joined APGA believing the party had sound ideological leanings native to Igboland.

She however, said that after joining the party which was founded by the late Chukwuemeka Ojukwu, she realised that internal democracy, which will guarantee justice, fairness and equity, is not a practice in APGA.

Oduah said: "Politics has always been about ideology and delivering service to the people for me, because I believe leadership is all about solving problems."

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," Oduah said.
