Senators Ifeanyi Ubah and Uche Ekwunife have been presented to All Progressives Congress (APC) members in Anambra State following their party defection.
Ubah announced his switch from the Young Progressives Party (YPP) to the APC a few weeks ago.
Chief Basil EJidike, the state chairman of the APC, who formally received the two senators, praised President Bola Tinubu’s leadership abilities while seeking more commitment from party members.
Ejidike who spoke about the prospect of APC taking Anambra State in 2025 through the new entrants said:
“We can achieve this great feat if we want, because the manpower and resources are readily available.
“Year 2025 affords us yet another opportunity to contest and win Anambra State Government House. Let us as one family work towards achieving this goal for our party.
“I enjoin you the new members not to fail to sustain their dogged and positive humanitarian spirits, which is their Hallmark. We urge you to double this inherent spirit in your service to the party.
“The APC will definitely provide you the platform to do more in this regard. I pledge our unalloyed support and cooperation in all our dealings with all of you. Please, rest assured that the party is large enough to accommodate everyone’s political aspirations.”
Ubah, in his speech, said the wait for APC to take Anambra had ended.
He said:
“APC would no longer keep quiet in Anambra, pretending that all was well when things are going wrong. APC has finally arrived in Anambra State.”
