Oduah picks PDP form for Anambra North senatorial seat

After months of intense pressure from stakehold­ers in Anambra North Senatorial zone, for­mer Minister of Aviation, Princess Stella Oduah has finally picked the nomina­tion form for the senatorial ticket of PDP for the 2015 election.

Last month, at a public forum held in Onitsha by the Anambra North Devel­opment Forum, political stakeholders at the event had decried lack of quality representation of the zone in the National Assembly and resolved to send a delegation to Oduah to vie for the Sena­torial seat of the zone in the coming election.
Saturday Sun gathered that intense consultations have been going on since then while the delegation continued mounting pres­sure on Oduah until she fi­nally succumbed and picked the party nomination in Abu­ja yesterday.
Reacting to the develop­ment, former PDP gover­norship aspirant, Dr. Alex Obiogbolu and former Chairman of the party in the state, Chief Pandola Okwuo­sa lauded the positive re­sponse from Oduah describ­ing it as a sign of political and economic renaissance for the people.
The duo while speaking to the press in Onitsha yes­terday said that the move to give the people of Anambra North impactful representa­tion by Oduah is hope rekin­dled for the people who have been suffering in the amid of plenty.
They called on the party leadership and the people of Anambra North to give room for equity by allowing Oduah from Ogbaru bloc to clinch the party ticket and also work for her victory at the polls so as to achieve the second desire of the people having produced the gover­nor during the last polls in the state.
