A former governorship candidate, Senator Ifeanyi Ubah, is presently having a closed-door session with the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Dr Abdullahi Ganduje, and several chieftains of Anambra APC in Abuja.
The meeting, which holds at Nicon Luxury Hotel in Abuja, also has Minister of Women Affairs, Uju Kennedy-Ohaneye; Anambra chairman of the party, Chief Basil Ejidike and Deputy National Organising Secretary of the APC, Nze Chidi Duru in attendance.
The gathering comes two days after the ruling party announced that it has intensified efforts in its mission to take over Abia and Enugu States at the 2027 general elections.
Although the agenda of the meeting has not been revealed, a source told our correspondent that the emergency consultative session was called to adopt Ubah as the governorship candidate of the party in 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.
