Why Senator Ifeanyi Ubah Dumped YPP for APC

By Charles Igbo

Very effective Anambra State Senator, Ifeanyi Ubah, has broken the hearts of members of the Young Peoples Party, YPP.

Ubah, a second term Senator under the YPP, on Thursday, dumped it for the All Progressives Congress, APC. Until he dumped the Party, Ubah was the only Senator the YPP had.

Recall that Ubah literally, founded the YPP, when he failed to clinch the ticket of his former Party, APGA, either as a Governorship or Senatorial Candidate. He has remained its main financier.

Ubah, in his letter to the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, which was read at Plenary, Thursday, said he dumped YPP over irreconcilable differences.

He, also, cited the interest of his Constituents as one of his reasons for defecting to the APC.

Ubah has, however, always had a soft spot for the APC. In 2019, he was in Lagos to mobilise the Igbo, and to campaign for the election of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, then APC Candidate as the Governor.

Ubah owns Capital Oil, and was first elected Senator in 2019. He represents Anambra South Senatorial District. His departure leaves YPP with no Senator.
