All Progressives Congress (APC) national chairman, Adams Oshiomhole, has hinted that the Anambra south Senator-elect, Ifeanyi Ubah, is set to dump the Young Peoples Party (YPP) to join the ruling APC.
This comes four days after Ubah denied plans of leaving the YPP.
Oshiomhole made this known at a meeting President Muhammadu Buhari had with APC senators-elect in Aso Rock on Monday night.
Some of the governors present at the meeting were 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 Badaru Abubakar of Jigawa, Ibrahim Gaidam of Yobe, Kashim Shettima of Borno, and Gboyega Oyetola of Osun.
Ubah had boasted at a press conference last Friday that the YPP was the party to beat.
“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,” Ubah said.
