AWKA, Nigeria – Senator representing Anambra South Senatorial District Dr Ifeanyi Ubah has stated that he dumped Young Progressive Party, YPP for the ruling All Progressives Congress APC to join forces with others to reconnect south east to national politics.
Ubah who spoke through his media aide,Hon Kameh Chunks said that he joined APC to join forces with other Igbo Progressives and stakeholders in changing the present disadvantaged position of Ndi Igbo in the National politics.
According to him, he moved from the Young Progressives Party, YPP, to the All Progressives Congress, in accordance with his Progressive agenda for the Igbo nation that will take back its pride of place in the national hemisphere.
Senator Ubah said by the move, he is pushing for a reconnection to the centre in the post Buhari era in order to help negotiate better on the various needs of the Southeast region in terms of security, infrastructural development and restoration of the Igbo man’s pride of place in the equitable distribution of national resources.
According to Senator Ubah while addressing the media after the plenary, he said things have gotten so bad that politicians from other zones can afford to lose the votes from the five southeastern states and yet win presidential election,a situation he describing as a huge anomaly that contributed hugely to his decision to lead his people back into national reckoning.
“This decision is to help a lot of my people and bring about better dividends of democracy as well as other interventions geared towards eradicating the insecurity in the Southeast region” he stated
The Media Assistant to Ubah,Hon Kameh Chunks however said that the defection was done on the floor of the National Assembly on Thursday.
According to him,what is left is for President Ahmed Bola Tinubu to officially receive him in a planned visit to Anambra state.
