…Aviation minister storms out of pavilion

By Henry Umoru & Dapo Akinferon

ABUJA- CRISIS rocking the Anambra State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP , Saturday,  took another dimension as supporters of the Chairman, Senate Committee on Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, Senator Andy Uba, his brother and a chieftain of the party, Chief Chris Uba and those of the party’s candidate, Tony Nwoye,engaged in a free-for-all.

The Eagle square, venue of the convention  was literarily turned into a boxing arena as Anambra delegates threw away decorum and engaged in fisticuffs before delegates from other states. 

Vanguard gathered that the Ubas, the Minister of Aviation, Stella Oduah, and other delegates were seated at the Anambra State pavilion when Tony Nwoye came in at 11.15am with his supporters, which added fillip to the already charged atmosphere. In a twinkle of an eye, a fracas ensued between supporters of the two governorship candidates that emerged from separate congresses in the state last week. The fight lasted for over thirty minutes as the Aviation Minister stormed out of the pavilion with her aides.
