Ubah, formerly a member of the Young Progressive Party (YPP), announced his defection through a letter addressed to the Senate.
Ubah’s letter was read at the floor of the Red Chamber on Thursday, by the Senate President, Senator Godswill Akpabio.
The two-time Senator, Ubah who had won his first election as a Senate in 2019 under YPP, cited insurmountable disagreements within the party as the reason for his defection, adding that his switchover was also in the interest of his constituent.
