Managing Director of Capital Oil and Gas Limited, Dr. Ifeanyi Patrick Ubah has formally dumped the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, for the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA. Dr. Ubah has also thrown his support on the Governor of Anambra State and candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA in the November 18th Governorship Election, Chief Willie Obiano.
The oil mogul who made the declaration in a statement he issued to newsmen on Saturday also said that “I wish to state unequivocally that I have taken a position to fight for the sustenance and continued relevance of my state and the Igbo tribe. I am a very strong and proud Igbo man who is passionate about the protection of the Igbo name and the pride attached to it. I have dedicated myself to ensure that “Afa Igbo ama efu”.
The Capital Oil and Gas boss gave his reasons for calling it a day with PDP to include what he described as the “unfair and callous treatment meted out on me,” adding that the party hierarchy did not hearken to his several pleas despite his having spent most of his political life working assiduously for the party.. He said “the political backstabbing has left a sour taste in my mouth and I have come to the conclusion that my service to the PDP is the price I have to pay if I am to succeed in my quest to serve my people. At this juncture, I have left the battle for the Lord.” Dr. Ubah who said he is very pleased to be back to APGA, the very party he began his political journey some years back also said that “based on this and my conscience, in truth, before God and man, I have made up my mind and resolved to join and support the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA).”
“My political journey which started from APGA has taken me to two other political parties, Labour Party and then PDP. I am extremely glad to be back to where I belong. Nke a bu nke anyi! I want to assure party faithful that I have returned to add immense value to the party and grow the party with the experience I have gathered over the years in politics.” Dr. Ubah who assured APGA of his unflinching support also declared that he would be organising a rally tagged AFA IGBO EFUNA to underscore his second coming into the party.
