Barely a month after he was elected to represent Anambra South Senatorial District in the National Assembly under the platform of the Young Peoples Party (YPP), Ifeanyi Ubah has allegedly dumped the party for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

The National Chairman of the APC, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole announced Ubah’s purported membership of the ruling party at a meeting the APC senators-elect held with President Muhammadu Buhari in Aso Rock on Monday night.

However, Ubah had on Friday at a press conference, denied reports that he was planning to dump the YPP, a party he said was bringing a revolution of change to Nigeria.

He said: “I am not yet ready to defect from the YPP. I am still in the YPP. In party business, you can’t determine what would happen next. Sometimes you wake up and you will start seeing one problem or the other.

“For me today, I am in the YPP and I hope to remain in the party. The YPP is bringing a revolution of change to Nigeria.

“I must join a progressive group in the Senate since I cannot be alone. The YPP is the party to beat in this country. I won my election without the party having an office in any part of Anambra State.”

Present at the meeting were Governors Akinwunmi Ambode of Lagos, Nasir el-Rufai of Kaduna, Yahaya Bello of Kogi, Simon Lalong of Plateau, Atiku Bagudu  of Kebbi and Abdulaziz Yari of Zamfara.

Others were Gboyega Oyetala (Osun), Badaru Abubakar (Jigawa), Ibrahim Gaidam (Yobe) and Kashim Shettina (Borno).
