A front-line aspirant of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and senator representing Anambra South Senatorial district (APC), Senator Andy Uba on Tuesday, July 18 dismissed as untrue the speculation that he is leaving his party for the PDP.

Senator Uba was reacting to certain media reports which stated that some former chieftains of the PDP will return to the PDP following the recent Supreme Court ruling which settled the protracted dispute in the former ruling party.

In a statement signed by his media office, Senator Uba insisted that the change agenda of the APC promises a better deal to transform Nigeria.

Senator Andy Uba dismissed reports that he is leaving the APC for the PDP.

He said his rumoured defection to the PDP were the antics of his detractors and those afraid of his looming popularity and growing chances of picking the APC ticket.

“The fact that Senator Ahmed Makarfi is Andy Uba's good friend and ally doesn't translate to leaving the APC for PDP.

“Senator Uba is not a come and go politician, his ideology is constant, good governance is of the essence and that is what he has found in the APC.

“The speculation about Sen Uba moving back to the PDP simply because the Markafi faction won its case at the Supreme Court as being speculated is false and should be disregarded.

“Let us add the fact that the APC remains the only political party that is positioned to salvage Anambra state from the misery, mismanagement and under-development situations in which she has unfortunately found herself, why then should a star studded aspirant like Senator Uba leave such a platform?” the statement said.

Last week, Senator Uba decried the lack of development in Anambra state while speaking with ward chairmen and other APC stakeholders in the state.

He faulted the government of incumbent, Chief Willie Obiano, stating that it lacked direction, while assuring his audience that he was in the governorship race to bring about tangible developments to the state.

Senator Uba has since kick-started his sensitization tour to various local government areas in Anambra state.
