Anxiety has gripped the party structures and establishment in the All Progressives Congress in Ananmbra State following the decamping of the senator representing Anambra South zone, Ifeanyi Ubah to the ruling party from the Young Peoples Party.
The defection, which was announced on the floor of the Senate on Thursday, is generating so much anxiety as the tested politician’s defection is being connected with his intention to contest the Ananmbra governorship on the platform of the ruling party.
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.
He had won another four-year term in Nigeria’s Senate during the February 25 general election.
Ubah was attacked last year at Nkwọ Enugwu-Ukwu in Njikoka Local Government Area of the State in 2022.
He lost his trusted personal assistant, a private photographer and two security details attached to him.
