The immediate past Minister of Aviation, Stella Oduah, has won the Peoples’ Democratic Party, PDP ticket for Anambra Senatorial seat.
In a result announced in Nteje, Anambra State, Sunday, Ms. Oduah polled 259 votes to defeat Margery Okadigbo, the incumbent, and wife of former Senate president, Chuba Okadigbo.
Mrs. Okadigbo got eight votes.
Other contestants for the ticket included Sam Ikefuna, 10 votes; and John Emeka, 15 votes.
The former minister, who picked the party’s nomination form last October, got almost 90 percent of the total votes cast by delegates.
Mrs. Oduah was removed from office in Febraury, amid allegations corruption after she ordered the purchase of armoured cars not listed in the budget, and at nearly twice the market price. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

ReplyDeleteMr. Oduah is building a hotel in VGC worth N3.5 billion from proceeds of kickbacks received from the airport remodeling projects scattered across the country.
ReplyDeleteWhy are not these matters looked into, you always leave a paper trail behind you.
Did Anambra PDP held 2 different sets of Senatorial primaries? One said Margery Okadigbo won in the election conducted by the state recognised executives. the other one said Stella Oduah won in the election conducted by the court recognised executives. Anyway, they are paving way for loosing the seat to another party where there is no controversy.
ReplyDeleteThese are more reason why l can't vote for PDP, can't they even field people without any questionable character? Why her again? Don't this people have a shame? Even if the society is poor and easyly manipulated must they show it to our face? This is un-fair.
ReplyDeleteHmmm, this administration is definitely winning the "war" against corruption.
ReplyDelete*which way Nigeria?*
