Senator Stella Oduah and House of Representatives
member, Lynda Ikpeazu, were some of the aspirants screened Thursday by the
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the November 18 governorship election in
Anambra.
Others screened
were Dr. Patrick Ubah, John Okechukwu Emeka, a former Minister of State, Dr.
Alex Obiogolu, Oseloka Henry Obaze, and Akolisa Ufodike.
The screening exercise took place at the party’s
national secretariat in Abuja.
There was mild
drama however when the chairman of the screening committee, Alhaji Adamu Maina
Waziri, complained about the lateness of some aspirants which he deemed
indiscipline.
He frowned at the
fact that some aspirants showed up at the venue 90 minutes behind schedule,
singling out Oduah and Ubah as two of the major culprits.
Speaking further,
Waziri urged the aspirants to display a spirit of sportsmanship in the overall
interest of the party, noting that the PDP had everything to lose if another
party won the election.
He promised the
aspirants justice and fairness in the conduct of the exercise, adding that in
line with the party’s constitution, none of the aspirants would be required to
pay above the N6 million nomination fees, while also stating that nomination
fee for women aspirants was waived to encourage more women’s participation in
politics.
