Senator Andy Uba has dumped the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Uba announced his defection on Wednesday, February 1, during a press briefing at his home in the Aguata Local Government Area.
Below are three reasons Uba gave for his defection:
Uba said he joined the APC because it has ideology and focus which he needs to tap into to provide quality representation to his constituents.
He added that he joined the APC because of other personalities in the party with sound ideas and whom he looked up to in politics.
He also said that being in the APC would make him effective in serving the yearnings of his people.
