Peoples Democratic Party to the All Progressives Congress.
Senator Andy Uba
Sen. Andy Uba, representing Anambra South Senatorial zone under the
platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, has defected to the All
Progressives Congress.
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.
