Makarfi Is My Ally And Good Friend But I'm Still In APC – Andy Uba Debunks Defection Rumours

Andy Uba, the Senator representing Anambra South Senatorial District, has debunked speculations that he is set to quit APC for PDP.

Recall that Senator Uba dumped the People's Democratic Party, PDP and joined the All Progressive Congress, APC about six months ago.

In a statement signed by his media aide, Mr Arinze Igboeli, Uba on Tuesday said the rumour of his defection was the handiwork of his detractors.

He claimed that some elements were afraid of his chances of picking the APC governorship ticket for the Anambra November 18 poll.

“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 Makarfi 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 Sen Uba leave such a platform?,” Uba queried.
