Sen. Andy Uba, representing Anambra South Senatorial zone under the
platform of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), has defected to the All
Progressives Congress (APC).
Uba disclosed this at a news briefing on Wednesday in his home country,
Uga, Aguata Local Government Area of the state.
The lawmaker said that he joined the APC at the ongoing registration of
party members in the state.
According to him, APC has ideology and focus which he needed to tap into
to provide quality representation to his constituents.
Uba further said that he joined the APC because of other personalities in
the party with sound ideas and whom he looked up to in politics.
He listed some of the personalities to include the Minister of Labour and
Employment, Sen. Chris Ngige, and APC National Auditor, Chief George
Muoghalu.
Uba stressed that with such caliber of people, the party would take the
state to enviable heights.
The senator said he would be very effective in serving the yearnings of
his people more now that he was in APC and urged other Igbo politicians to
join the bandwagon.
The registration of senator Uba had doused speculations of his defection
to APC which had been on for many weeks in the state.
