“National Assembly politics has nothing to do with a particular political party. You know Ifeanyi Ubah is the only Senator-elect under the platform of YPP and he has to align with any candidate vying for the office of the Senate President, “ Amakiri told LEADERSHIP.
He said as the chairman of a political party he can visit President Muhammadu Buhari to discuss national issues and advice him on issues of national importance adding that it does not translate to decamping.
“As the chairman of the YPP, Ifeanyi Ubah is still a member of the party. He has not presented the party with a letter of resignation. He was elected under YPP and he is still our member,” Amakiri added.
