Senator Ifeanyi Ubah has officially defected from the Young Progressives Party (YPP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
He revealed that his decision to join the ruling party was informed by his desire to foster a closer relationship between the South-East and the Central Government of President Bola Tinubu.
Ubah, who visited the APC National Chairman, Abdullahi Ganduje, in the company of Senate President, Godswill Akpabio at the party’s National Secretariat in Abuja, expressed his appreciation to the party’s leadership for accepting him into its fold.
He also commended President Tinubu for appointing Dave Umahi as the Minister of Works, despite the party recording low votes in the South-East in the 2023 presidential election.
The Senator, who consulted widely with his political family and critical stakeholders in the South-East before defecting to the APC, noted that it was not all about talking, but about taking action.
He expressed his confidence in President Tinubu’s leadership and his ability to unite the country and reward those who support him, regardless of their political affiliation. Ganduje, while receiving Ubah, described him as the biggest politician to join the party since he assumed office as the APC chairman.
He expressed his optimism that with Ubah’s defection, the party would soon take over the South-East in the coming elections.
Senator Ifeanyi Ubah’s decision to join the APC is driven by his belief in President Tinubu’s leadership and his desire to foster a closer relationship between the South-East and the Central Government.
His defection to the APC is expected to have a significant impact on the party’s political fortunes in the South-East region.
