Anambra Gov Election: Stella Oduah Dumps PDP for APC (See Reasons)
Former Minister of Aviation and current Senator representing Anambra North, Stella Oduah, has defected the Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP), pitching her tent with the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Oduah officially made the switch shortly after meeting with the Chairman, Caretaker Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee, (CPC), Mai Malama Buni, in Abuja on Thursday.
Speaking to journalists at the end of the very brief ceremonies also witnessed by the Deputy President of the Senate, Ovie Omo-Agege, Governor of Kebbi State, Abubakar Atiku Bagudu, Oduah said, her decision to leave the PDP for APC was dictated by the need to engage in progressive politics for her constituency and the people of Anambra State.
Oduah served as Minister of Aviation in PDP under President Goodluck Jonathan, between 2011 and 2014, when she was relieved.
