Ifeanyi Ubah dumps PDP for APGA

- From Emma Elekwa, Awka

The Chairman of Capital Oil, Dr Ifeanyi Ubah, has defected from the People Democratic Party (PDP) for the All Progressiv­es Grand Alliance (APGA). Ubah who was defeated at the primary election that produced the PDP flagbearer, Mr Oseloka Obaze, ahead of the November 18 governorsh­ip election in Anambra State, cited injustice meted out on him in the party as his reason for quitting the PDP.

He said his choice of APGA was informed by his decision to champion the cause of the Igbo race which, he said, the APGA platform had provided.

“Unfortunat­ely, having spent most of my political life working assiduousl­y for the PDP and in considerat­ion of the unfair and callous treatment meted out on me despite my several pleas to the party hierarchy, I have decided to call it a day with the PDP,” he said.
