IFEANYI UBAH SPEAKS ON DEFECTION TO APC

Senator Ifeanyi Ubah, Anambra South Senator-elect, has reacted to the report of his defection to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Oshiohmole informed the APC National Working Committee members, returning/newly-elected senators at the Presidential Villa, on Monday, that Ubah was now with the ruling party.

However, Ubah in a statement said he is just caucusing with the ruling party which offers him value than being a YPP Senator.

On why he attended the meeting with President Buhari and APC caucus, Ubah said he went to the meeting in order to seek solutions to the problems Igbo traders are having in Lagos.

The statement reads: “Yesterday I was in Lagos with the Leadership of the Senate and over 20 other senator-elect to brief the press. After the briefing, I invited by our trader brothers from Tradefair Bba to meet the senators over the tussles our brothers are having with BPE over their assets and the rumors of privatizing the market.
