Stella Oduah Triumphs To Secure APGA Senate Nomination For Anambra North

Former Senator Stella Oduah has been proclaimed the winner of the All Progressives Grand Alliance’s May 23 senatorial primary in Anambra North.

Oduah, a former minister of aviation and former senator from the Anambra North Senatorial District, defeated Primus Odili, her closest opponent, with 22,076 votes cast in the district’s seven local government areas.

The Anambra North Senatorial District’s 99 wards held a peaceful election, according to a statement released on Monday by APGA’s National Publicity Secretary, Ejimofor Opara. The results were announced at the ward level.

The statement read in part, “The All Progressives Grand Alliance has noted computations circulating by some aspirants regarding the collation of results for the Anambra North Senatorial District primary election.

“We state categorically that the basis for these computations is incorrect, and no credible result can be derived from such faulty calculations.

“The election was conducted peacefully across all 99 wards in Anambra North Senatorial District, and results were announced at the ward level.

“While concerns have been raised about some ward outcomes, no results were changed, altered or swapped at any stage. All results remain as submitted and collated by the duly appointed collation officers for the seven LGAs.

“The scanned copy of the accurate tabulation and photographs of the seven LGA collated result sheets are attached for verification.

“APGA maintains that only results authenticated through the party’s collation and verification process are valid.”

“We congratulate the winner of the primary election, Senator Stella Oduah, and commend all aspirants for their participation.

“We also commend party members in Anambra North for conducting themselves in line with the party’s code of conduct,” the statement added.
