Senator Dr. Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah, the representative of Anambra South Senatorial District, expressed his motivation for joining the All Progressives Congress (APC) – a commitment to usher in meaningful development that has been lacking in Anambra State for the past two decades.
Highlighting the perceived political stagnation under the ruling All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) for the last 20 years, Senator Ubah aims to break this pattern by aligning with the APC.
His goal is to bridge Anambra to the national center, fostering sustainable development for the state, positioned as the gateway to the Southeast.
During an event organized by the Anambra State Chapter of the APC to welcome Senator Ubah, Senator Uche Lilian Ekwunife, and their supporters, he criticized Governor Charles Chukwuma Soludo for failing to fulfill his promise of conducting Local Government elections within two years of assuming office, as pledged during the 2021 Governorship election.
According to him, it is incapacity for a leader not to provide opportunities for his teeming youths, stressing that 1youth,2skills of Soludo administration is a mere jamboree.
Also speaking, Senator Uche Ekwunife thanked the APC party faithful for accepting them into the fold and promised that she would do her best to ensure that the party gains traction in the state.
She however called on party faithful to support the drive to move the party forward in the state with the aim to galvanise the party towards truly connecting to the centre.
While welcoming the new members into APC, the State Chairman of the party, Chief Basil Ejidike expressed happiness to receive such personalities with great political pedigree into their fold and called on them to be diligent in propagating the internal harmony of the party in Anambra state.
He called for unity, commitment and discipline in the party and frowned at indiscipline, anti-party sentiments and disloyalty to party leaders in order to properly reposition APC in the state.
Chief Ejidike reiterated that the reward system in the party will be enhanced to sustain trust and therefore pleaded for federal government appointments, which he said before now, have been given to non-APC members in the state.
