Uba, who announced his cross-carpeting at a news briefing on Wednesday in his home country, Uga, Aguata Local Government Area of the state, said that he joined the APC at the ongoing registration of party members in the state.
For him, the motivation is the ideology of the party and the personalities in trhe party in the state.
APC has ideology and focus which he needed to tap into to provide quality representation to his constituents, he said.
Senator Andy Uba Uba further said that he joined the APC because of other personalities in the party with sound ideas and whom he looked up to in politics, whom he listed to include
the Minister of Labour and Employment, Sen. Chris Ngige, and APC National Auditor, Chief George Muoghalu.
Uba stressed that with such caliber of people, the party would take the state to enviable heights. The senator said he would be very effective in serving the yearnings of his people more now that he was in APC and urged other Igbo politicians to join the bandwagon. The registration of senator Uba had doused speculations of his defection to APC which had been on for many weeks in the state.
Uba had earlier made to unsuccessful attempt to the governorship of Anambra, and in one instance declared governor of the state before that dream was aborted by the court.
