Defection: Senator Ubah Debunks Rumour, Says He Is Not Dumping YPP For APC |The Source

By Akinwale Kasali

Senator Ifeanyi Ubah has debunked the rumours making the round that he is on the verge of leaving the Young Progressives Party, YPP, for the ruling All Progressives Party, APC.

Kamen Chuks Ogbonna, Head, Media and Strategic Communication to the Senator Ifeanyi Ubah Team,  disclosed that the rumour is from the pit of hell, insisting that at no time did his Principal contemplate leaving YPP to pitch tent with the APC.

Ogbonna alluded the rumour to “a plot by mischief makers and usual pranks of a frightened opposition that is almost running out of fresh ideas, having tried several evil plots , propaganda and hatchet stories, all deliberately planted in the hope that it will reduce or whittle down the massive appeal that the Distinguished Senator currently commands in the State.”

According to him, “Unfortunately we have received several calls from our friends, political allies and well wishers all trying to find out the veracity or otherwise of the story hence this rebuttal.

“I wish to categorically state, that the Distinguished Senator, Dr Ifeanyi Ubah is the National leader of Young Progressives Party (YPP) and has no intention whatsoever of leaving the party for any other platform.

“YPP is the next vehicle that Ndi Anambra has zeroed in on, and Senator Dr Ifeanyi Ubah is the driver of that incoming status quo change, poised to trigger the economic revival of Anambra.

“One may ask at this juncture, what can a Senator, who was denied the ticket of the ruling party in the state barely two months to a Senate election, but who took up a then little known YPP and still won the Senate election with a landslide, will be looking for in another platform?

Senator Ubah, through Ogbonna,  called  on his teeming supporters to disregard what he termed the latest attempt by an obviously frightened opposition to trigger confusion amongst our ranks by peddling false stories .

Ogbonna stressed that “the Senator’s pact with Ndi Anambra remains sacrosanct and unshakeable and the YPP remains the vehicle for this emancipation.”

Ubah is the only YPP Senator. He is, also, the head and tail of the party in the state. During 2019 Governorship election, he campaigned, side by side with, and for APC’s Governor  Jide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos.
