Senator Ifeanyi Ubah, representing Anambra South, under the Young Progressive Party, has switched his allegiance to the ruling All Progressives Congress.
The announcement of his defection was conveyed in a letter directed to the President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio, and publicly read in the Senate Chamber on Thursday.
Ubah, who had been elected for a second term under the YPP in the previous elections, according to the letter, said his reason for switching parties was due to the insurmountable disagreements within the party.
Ubah said, “I am willing to formally notify and inform the Distinguished Senate President and our colleagues of irreconcilable differences between me and the leadership of my party.
“I, therefore, resolved to move from the Young Progressive Party (YPP) to the most important party in Africa, the All Progressives Congress.
“After careful considerations and due consultations, the members of my community, my constituents, and critical stakeholders of Anambra State.”
