Senator Ifeanyi Ubah, representing Anambra South in the Nigerian Senate, has officially defected from the Young Progressive Party (YPP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC). His decision to switch parties was conveyed in a letter directed to the President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio, and was publicly read in the Senate Chamber.
Senator Ubah, who was elected for a second term under the YPP in the previous elections, cited “insurmountable disagreements” within the party as the reason for his defection. The move to the APC comes as political realignments and changes continue to shape Nigeria’s political landscape.
The specifics of Senator Ubah’s decision and the implications for his political future will likely be a subject of discussion and analysis in the days to come.
