Anambra North: Obi, Nollywood actors make case for Oduah; as Oduah launches talent-hunt for footballers, actors, musicians

 www.odogwublog.com reports that the former Governor of Anambra State, Peter Obi

and some members of Actors Guild of Nigeria, AGN have appealed to the electorate in Anambra North Senatorial Zone to vote massively for Princess Stella Oduah, former Minister of Aviation and candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP contesting the senatorial seat of the zone.

Obi who spoke at a grand finale rally organized by Princess Oduah Campaign Organization, yesterday at the All Saints Anglican Church Cathedral Field, Onitsha, said Oduah is the only person who can bulldoze her way in the Senate chambers and fight for the peoples rights.

Obi contended that Oduah has all it takes to development the area and empower the people if she becomes the senator representing Anambra North Senatorial zone which he described as the most important zone, East of the Niger, where the largest market in Africa is located and food basket area located.

According to Obi, "going to the Senate is not equivalent to taking chieftaincy title. Senate is not an all comers affair. It is a place where intellectuals gather and make laws for the masses. It is better to send someone like Oduah who knows Abuja terrain very well than sending someone who will go there and start learning the terrain".

He recalled that Oduah had proved her mettle when she was the Aviation minister by renovating all our local airports and attracting an international airport for us here in the South East zone, adding that she was equally instrumental to the rehabilitation of Onitsha/Atani/Ossomala/Ogwuikpele road, as well as for securing approval for Anambra Cargo Airport.

In his speech, Yul Edochie, a Nollywood actor who stepped into the podium with many other actors, appealed to the electorate to vote for Oduah because of many lives she had touched in the past and present and those she would touch in the future.

Responding, Oduah promised that if voted into power, she would attract the benefit of SURE-P, U-WIN, G-WIN and other federal government empowerment programmes which are in existence but do not get down to the masses in the zone, as a result of poor representation.

She then launched a talent hunt aimed at fishing out talented sports men and women, actors, musicians and footballers for sponsorship, home and abroad training up to the maturity level.
