of the ruling party at a meeting President Muhammadu Buhari had with APC
senators-elect in Aso Rock on Monday night.
At a press
conference on Friday, Ubah had said: “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.”
Governors present at the meeting were Akinwunmi Ambode
(Lagos), Nasir el-Rufai (Kaduna), Yahaya Bello (Kogi), Simon Lalong
