Anambra
South Senator-elect, Ifeanyi Ubah, who ran and election won on the platform of
the Young People’s Party (YPP) has dumped the party for the ruling All
Progressives Congress (APC).
There has been rumours that he had plans to dump the YPP a notion he termed
as false.
The National Chairman of the APC, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole recently disclosed
that Ubah was now with the ruling party at the opening of the APC National
Working Committee members, returning/newly-elected senators at the Presidential
Villa, on Monday, presided over by President Muhammadu Buhari.
Oshiomhole in his remark, said the YPP Senator-elect from
Anambra South decided to become a member of the ruling party because he
felt more comfortable with the winning team.
He said other issues pertaining to the defection would be perfected on a later date.
The APC chairman however said APC stands a better ground to control the Ninth Senate had a clear majority.
Ubah, who is currently in the camp of a leading aspirant for the
Senate presidency, Ahmad Lawan, was quoted as saying at a press
conference last Friday that: “I am not yet ready to defect from the YPP.
I am still in the YPP. In party business, you can’t determine what
would happen next. Sometimes you wake up and you will start seeing one
problem or the other. For me today, I am in the YPP and I hope to remain
in the party.
