President Bola Tinubu is allegedly fair to the South-East people, according to Senator Ifeanyi Ubah, who cites recent ministerial and other appointments.
The representative for Anambra South stated on a Channels Television program on Thursday night that Tinubu had more “good things” in store for the area, including appointments.
The All Progressives Congress (APC) is the current government, as Ubah declared his decision to leave the Young Progressives Party (YPP) during the Thursday plenary, according to Platinum Times.
The decision was made as a result of irreconcilable divisions inside the YPP, according to the letter that the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, read aloud.
In response to claims that the South-East is not the APC’s stronghold given the party’s dismal showing in the region during the 2023 election, Ubah claimed that President Tinubu has been fair to the area.
“For someone winning election back to back, you know that you must be close to your people and you must always consult widely with your people.
“So for me to join the APC, I did my consultation and then I listened to the voice of my people.
“If you look at the APC today, you will discover that the President [Bola Tinubu] has been super fair to the South-East irrespective of our votes during the elections.
“Giving us the minister of works [David Umahi] is something that would not have been possible in the past. [There are] other appointments that are coming and so many other good things he wants to do for our people.”
The lawmaker further noted that the region has much to benefit from keying into the APC and does not want the South-East to be left behind.
“So, it is very important for us now to join the centre party so that we would not be left behind,” he said, adding that “the entire South-East is joining where I am going”.
“Just watch and see what is going to be in the next few weeks, he added.
