YPP Senator-Elect, Ifeanyi Ubah Dumps Party For APC
The Young Progressives Party has lost its senator-elect, Mr. Ifeanyi Ubah to the ruling party, All Progressive Congress, APC.
The APC chairman, Adams Oshiomhole announced the defection of Ifeanyi Ubah from Anambra south on Monday during a meeting President Muhammadu Buhari had with APC senators-elect in Aso Rock.
This latest development came despite the previous denial of the Senator-elect on last Friday.
“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.
“The YPP is bringing a revolution of change to Nigeria. I must join a progressive group in the Senate since I cannot be alone. The YPP is the party to beat in this country. I won my election without the party having an office in any part of Anambra State”, he had earlier said in a press conference.
Governors present at the meeting were Akinwunmi Ambode (Lagos), Nasir el-Rufai (Kaduna), Yahaya Bello (Kogi), Simon Lalong (Plateau), Atiku Bagudu (Kebbi) and Abdulaziz Yari (Zamfara).
Others were Badaru Abubakar (Jigawa), Ibrahim Gaidam (Yobe), Kashim Shettina (Borno), and Gboyega Oyetala (Osun).
