Oil mogul and Senator-elect under the platform of YPP, Dr. Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah, has cleared the air over his purported defection to the governing party, the All Progressives Congress.
In his reaction to the news making the rounds especially on social media platforms, Ifeanyi Ubah said, “Yesterday I was in Lagos with the Leadership of the Senate and over 20 other senators-elect to brief the press. After the briefing, I invited our trader brothers from Tradefair Bba to meet the senators over the tussles our brothers are having with BPE over their assets and the rumours of privatizing the market. Luckily, the Senate Leader and by God’s grace the incoming Senate President was the chairman that resolved BBA issues in 2011 with BPE( Bureau of Public Enterprise) and made the recommendations that they were enjoying till date and he promised to swing into action immediately to resolve their current issues again and we left Lagos to Abuja for a dinner with Mr. President and APC Senators and their caucus”.
“At the dinner, the APC Chairman introduced me as a potential APC incoming Senator. This was his quote and his view of which he’s doing well in marketing me but I know my mission and has not changed from my statement of last week”.
“The most important thing is that I’m in a caucus with the ruling party and presently has more value as a YPP senator-elect. I will advise those of our brothers who take delight in spreading false information or are happy maligning characters to quickly desist from such.”
“This is a time to think about what will benefit our constituency. I will always keep you Informed as things unfolds but have it at the back of your minds that I won’t be that cheap senator” Dr. Ubah concluded.
