In a dramatic turn of events, Oduah, who had joined the APC soon before the state’s 2021 governorship race, returned to the PDP and won the party’s senatorial nomination.
Nwanwa revealed that the party had removed him from his position as its youth leader, which he claimed he had earned during the party’s convention, during a press conference he gave on Sunday in Awka.
“I, Hon Innocent Nwanwa, was elected the State APC Youth Leader, and were subsequently inaugurated at the Party Secretariat, Amenyi Awka. The summary of the result sheet of the state congress is hereby attached for your kind perusal sir.
“It is however true that I joined the APC with Senator Stella Adaeze Oduah, upon her declaration on Thursday, August 26, 2021, but have since remained steadfast and committed with the party, attending Party functions and activities not minding the fact the Senator left the party.
“It is rather surprising, embarrassing and most unfortunate for the same beneficiary of the state congress, the State Chairman of the Party, Chief Basil Ejidike, to continue to boast and intimidate me with threat of removal.
“He, however, has stopped inviting me to State Executive meetings and sundry party functions, and have unjustly taken steps, and have indeed removed and replaced me with one of his errand boys, one Mr Jideofor Ejimofor.
“For record purposes, your Excellency, I am a bonafide APC member (attached herewith is my party membership card), with number An/Ogb/16/57524. I am an indigene of Ogbaru, and a voter in Iyiowa/Odekpe/Ohita ward.JAMB Result
“Your Excellency, kindly use your good office to correct this obvious injustice and illegality, to enable the party move into the upcoming 2023 general elections as one united family.”
