ODUAH GOES GAGA!!! ANAMBRA GUBER WHY I

Sen. Stella Oduah, one of the Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) governorship aspirants in Anambra, said she withdrew from the party’s primary election on Monday because delegates were imposed on the party.

The lawmaker made this known in a
telephone interview with ODOGWU MEDIA in Abuja on Monday.
She described the development as
unacceptable, particularly for a party that was just trying to get its footing
after undergoing a major leadership crisis.
She said party members that were not
part of the struggle during the crisis period were suddenly imposed on the
party members.
“There must be incentive for
loyalty. Party loyalists must have a say.
“When you deny their participation,
you deny them that incentive they get from being the torchbearers of the party.
So, I think it’s morally wrong for this to happen.
“Secondly, we are just coming out
from `godfatherism’ that pervades the politics of Anambra PDP.
“Thank God for court judgment but
with what is happening, they are bringing us back to that era where we will be
subjected to one man imposing a candidate on us.
“The fundamental process that led to
the three-man delegates was so chaotic and the default was so fundamental.
“My people were disenfranchised and
I don’t want to be part of that process because it is injustice.
“When you have imposition, you have
blocked that hope for them.
You have made it difficult and
impossible for them to aspire to be anything within the party because you are
telling them that you can bring somebody from anywhere to impose on them.
Also, bringing somebody from
outside the party and who has not stayed for long, it means that you are saying
that you lack capacity within party members.
But I don’t think we lack capacity,
I think PDP has enough capacity to run for that election,’’ she said.
The lawmaker said she was concerned
that the development could lead to the party’s defeat in the forthcoming
governorship election in the state.
Oduah, representing Anambra North,
had threatened to withdraw from Monday’s PDP governorship primaries on grounds
that the party’s ward congresses was fraught with “irregularities and
sabotage.
