The senator representing Anambra South, Ifeanyi Ubah, on Thursday met with the National Chairman of All Progressives Congress, Abdullahi Ganduje, at the party’s national headquarters in Abuja.
Naija News reports that Ifeanyi Ubah on Thursday, defected to the APC from the Young Progressives Party (YPP) due to irreconcilable differences in the party.
The letter of defection further explained that Ubah’s decision is in the interest of his constituents.
The Anambra politician arrived at the party secretariat at about 4.15 pm with the Senate president, Godswill Akpabio rocking a flowing Babaringa and a traditional red cap to match.
The news of Ubah’s defection was publicly read in the Senate Chamber on Thursday.
Ubah, who was elected for another four years on the platform of YPP in the previous elections, had explained that he switched allegiance to the ruling APC because of the insurmountable disagreements within his former party.

Why I’m Supporting Govt To Combat Sit-at-home In South East – Ifeanyi Ubah
Recall that Ubah had said he supports the Anambra Government in the fight against sit-at-home and insecurity in the South-East state.
Ubah, in an interview with Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily on July 13, 2023, said his initiative was intended to augment the existing mechanisms of the Anambra state government to curb the insecurity crisis in the state and the Southeast region at large.
He said, “For me, in Anambra State, my coming on board is to add to what the governor or the government of Anambra is doing. We’re working in partnership with the governor; he’s the chief security officer.
“I felt that there are some missing links; he has the state apparatus and security network in the state. I wanted to complement it by giving a little support to already existing vigilante groups in my constituency.
“We’re working with a vigilante group from just one local government, so that we can test the pilot scheme, which the governor kindly approved, and he came to uphold the launch of it.
