Ifeanyi Ubah, the senator representing Anambra south, has
defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC) from the Young Progressives
Party (YPP).
Ubah was elected to the upper legislative chamber on the
platform of the YPP twice — having been elected into office as Anambra south
senator in 2019.
The defection is the first in the senate since the 10th
national assembly was inaugurated in June.
With this defection, the YPP has no lawmaker in the upper
legislative chamber. It however has two lawmakers in the house of
representatives.
The senator’s defection letter was read on the floor of the
senate on Thursday by Senate President Godswill Akpabio.
In the letter addressed to Akpabio, Ubah said he was
defecting to the APC because of “irreconcilable differences” in the YPP.
The senator did not explain what these differences were.
After reading the letter, the senate president directed Ubah
be given a new seat.
Meanwhile, the senate adjourned proceedings till next week
in honour of Abdulkadir Danbuga, a member of the house of representatives who
died on Wednesday aged 63.
