Following the recent rumours making rounds that Dr Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah has joined APC in preparation for 2017 Anambra gubernatorial election, Jimmy Chinedu Nwankwo, chairman APC, Nnewi North was intercepted in IFEANYI Ubah's Nnewi residence and he confirmed the speculation adding that his party has since issued party card to Ubah.
However, Ifeanyi Ubah's special assistant on media, Ikechukwu Onyia, was quick to direct that Ifeanyi Ubah is a true Nigerian and political animal who is presently making consultations in view of upcoming elections and is justified for any decision he deems necessary in ensuring that Anambra gets the best governor in the next election. Onyia said that so far Anambra has been doing alright but is yet to tap into her full potentials as a state. In his words, "there are very many resources and economic potentials wasting away in this state due to the incompetence of the powers that be. IFEANYI Ubah is aggrieved about this and would want to address this, especially in the aspect of human resource development. It is the people that build the society and not vise versa, therefore we need to invest more in human capital development in this state. This is what Ifeanyi Ubah is demonstrating as an individual in many ways. A case in point being the Youth Fiesta today that converges all great musical artistes of Anambra origin to entertain and mentor Anambra youths for free."
Onyia also said that his principal has lofty plans to revolutionalise agriculture in all the agro communities in the state through effective international partnership, not the "ritual mode of sharing money to individuals in the name of agric loan" being demonstrated by the present administration.
