Former governorship candidate Senator Ifeanyi Ubah is currently in a closed-door meeting with the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje, and several key figures of the Anambra APC in Abuja.
The meeting is taking place at Nicon Luxury Hotel in Abuja and includes the Minister of Women Affairs, Uju Kennedy-Ohaneye; the Anambra chairman of the party, Chief Basil Ejidike; and the Deputy National Organising Secretary of the APC, Nze Chidi Duru.
This gathering follows the ruling party’s announcement that it is intensifying efforts to take over Abia and Enugu States in the 2027 general elections. While the agenda of the meeting has not been officially disclosed, a source indicated that the session was called to discuss the possibility of adopting Ubah as the party’s governorship candidate for the next election.
“I understand the ruling party has been seeking a heavyweight politician to wrest power from the APGA government in Anambra and may have settled for Senator Ifeanyi Ubah,” the source explained.
Ubah, who was re-elected to the Senate on the platform of the Young Progressive Party, had defected to the APC in October 2023.
The senator explained in the letter read by the Senate Chamber that he switched parties because of the insurmountable disagreements within his former party.
