EKO HOT BLOG reports that the senator representing Anambra South in the National Assembly, Ifeanyi Ubah, has said he dumped the Young Progressive Party (YPP) for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) because of the insurmountable disagreements within his former party.
Ubah also said he joined the APC due to the exemplary leadership shown by President Bola Tinubu since he became the country’s leader.

He said President Tinubu is a politician who understands pains and how to console people, adding that he has the capacity to lead the country on the path of progress and development.

The Anambra politician, however, stated that it has always been difficult for the Igbo people to cue into the national party because of their sentiments and emotions

He said, “I want to be sincere. It has always been difficult for the Igbo people to cue into the national party because of our sentiments and emotions.

“But, since our president has emerged, and I put that challenge to each Igbo man today in Nigeria, about 70 to 80 per cent of them drive their wealth from the legacy that the president has left in Lagos. Our president is a politician who understands pains and how to console people. He has that capacity.

“It is also important for me to tell our people about the appointment of Dave Umahi as the minister of works for the very first time, irrespective of our very low turnout of votes for him.

“Our president is rewarding those who didn’t vote for him. For that, it will be very difficult for any man with a conscience not to look at the direction of the central party. I consulted widely. I don’t see anyone who will come against my coming into the APC.”

Speaking further, Ubah promised to deliver Anambra to the ruling APC, adding that he has made his complaints about the South East known to the President.
