The senator representing Anambra North in the National Assembly, Stella Oduah, has officially returned back to the People Democratic Party (PDP) from the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA). This was disclosed in a press statement signed personally by the Senator on Friday morning.

The lawmaker cited lack internal democracy in the APGA as her reason for dumping the party for the PDP.

“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” the statement read.

Oduah also added that the move was after her due consultations and respect to her religious beliefs. “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.
