- The National Caretaker Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party, has named seven aspirants who have obtained the party's nomination forms for the Anambra governorship election.
While speaking at a news conference on Tuesday in Abuja, Dayo
Adeyeye, the National Publicity Secretary of the PDP National Caretaker
Committee, named seven aspirants who have obtained the party’s
nomination and expression of interest forms for the Anambra governorship
election scheduled for November 28.
The National Caretaker Committee of the opposition Peoples
Democratic Party, listed the seven aspirants which includes the chairman
of Capital Oil and Gas, Ifeanyi Ubah, and a former Minister of
Aviation, Stella Oduah.
Others are former Miss Nigeria and former member of House of
Representatives, Lynda Ikpeazu, Alex Obiogolu, Oseloka Obaze, Okechukwu
Emeka, Akolisa Ufodike.
Meanwhile, the two big guns in the list, Ubah and Oduah are being probed for alleged sharp practices.
The Department of State Services, DSS arrested Ubah in May over his
alleged role in the alleged theft of petrol kept in his tank farm in
Lagos by the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation. The product, it
said, was valued at over N11 billion. He however, denied any wrongdoing,
saying he was also being owed billions by the NNPC.
Oduah, much more earlier in 2013, landed in troubled waters over
the purchase of two armoured BMW vehicles for N255 million by an agency
under her supervision when she was aviation minister.
Reacting to the allegation more recently, the former minister said
she is unaware of any probe by the Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission, EFCC, of the scandal.
