STELLA ODUAH IN BIG DILEMMA, SET TO DEFECT FROM PDP...WHY SHE'S YET TO START HER CAMPAIGN

As the buildup continues for the 2019 General Election, there are very strong indications that Senator Stella Oduah will soon defect to another party.

ECD sniffed from reliable sources close to her office of her plans to shift base from her PDP family where she made her mark and propelled to the Senate representing Anambra North.

However to which party she is headed is still unknown.

Oduah popularly called Adaezechukwu by her close associates had allegedly planned to decamp to APGA following a pact with Governor Obiano to support him during his reelection.

Obiano in return was to guarantee his cooperation for her return to the Senate during the General Elections in 2019.

However,  her current travails and several invitations by the EFCC over alleged financial misdemeanor during her reign as Aviation Minister seems to be leaving her in a big confusion and causing a delay over her choice of party and time of bailing out.

This dilemma stems from the fact that not joining Obiano as agreed will seem like a big betrayal to a pact well made while defecting to APC may be the tonic to deter the EFCC from whirling around her ears like stubborn mosquitoes.

Again it is alleged that some friends are also wooing her for the new grouping in the SDP led by Prof Jerry Gana and co. 

These problems as well as many others are said to be preventing her from starting her campaign to return to the senate where she seems not to have an immediate competitor.

Oduah has been very angry with her party PDP in Anambra and even took it to court before the Anambra election for trumping up former Secretary of Anambra state Government Oseloka Obaze as its flag bearer over and above other old members, an action that may have polarized the party across board.

She is said to also be miffed by the non cohesion in PDP at the moment especially in Anambra where aggrieved members are yet to be appeased since “Peter Obi hijacked the party” according to a source

An insider told ECD that “Madam has not been happy with PDP in Anambra of late and still has not calmed down concerning the political arrangement of her party. I think she is waiting for the right time to dump his folks in the umbrella party” the source concluded

The top class business woman from Akili Ozizor in Ogbaru Local Government Area of Anambra state who played big in the oil and gas sector ran Sea Petroleum and Gas (SPG) for many years before the pull of politics dragged her away into its murky waters.
