We will challenge Ifeanyi Ubah’s defection in court – YPP

The Young Progressives Party, YPP, has vowed to explore legal options to challenge the defection of Senator Ifeanyi Ubah to the ruling party, the All Progressives Congress, APC, in court.

The YPP National Publicity Secretary, Egbeola Wale-Martins, disclosed this on Friday while addressing newsmen following Ubah’s defection on Thursday.

The senator had defected during plenary presided over by the President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio, citing “irreconcilable differences.”

But the YPP on Friday brushed aside the claim while blaming the ruling party, the APC, for trying to turn the country into a one-party state.

“The news making the rounds on the defection of Sen. Ifeanyi Ubah to the All Progressives Congress, APC, is unfortunate, especially at a time when we should be consolidating on our gains in the just concluded general election.

“We ought to be building a formidable opposition to challenge the reckless ruling party responsible for the several woes currently being faced by Nigerians,” Egbeola Wale-Martins said.
