Sen. Ifeanyi Ubah: Who can stop his Aspiration?

Chief Promoter and Founder of Afa Igbo Efuna Movement, Senator Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah, on Monday, formally declared his intention  to contest the Anambra State 2021 Governorship election.
The oil magnate who represents Anambra South in the Red Chamber of the National Assembly made the declaration during a ‘Thank you’ rally hosted at the DCC Field Nnewi.
While thanking the people of Nnewi North for electing him Senator in 2019, he formally informed them that he will run for Governor in the November 2021 election.

A similar rally is billed for Ukpor, Nnewi South on Wednesday April, 21.

Senator Ifeanyi Ubah is running under the platform of the Youth Progressives Party, YPP.
Before he officially declared his ambition the well-loved senator has secured blessings of elders, stakeholders as well as those that matter in the state.
The oil and gas top player, however, has to battle a lot of challenges to realise his lifetime desire.
Apart from his relatively unknown political party, The Young Progressives Party, YPP, it the incumbent governor, Willie Obiano , may also constitute a clog in the wheel of Ubah’s dream, though he has no constitutional right to contest any more.

A source  revealed that the founder of Capital Oil is also aware of the mountainous task before him and he has prepared to surmount it.
In the past years, he has  proven to his detractors that he is indeed a cat with nine lives.
The more they try to bury him, the more he sprouts like a seed in a well fertile land.

The billionaire, who sits atop many businesses across the country in the past, has faced many challenges that would ordinarily consume a lily-livered.
But the Nnewi born senator has proved beyond reasonable doubt that he is indeed a warrior and a master of the game.
Even though he is a lone fighter, many of his enemies are never his match.
Since he was declared winner in the senatorial district , the billionaire has fought so many battles within the state and outside.
But he emerged victorious in all the legal battles so far.

He remained unstoppable in his quest for the number one job of the state come November, 2021.
As many are aware, this is not the first time the Nnewi born billionaire politician would spring up even when many have written him off politically.
Shortly before he won his senatorial election,  it appeared that the  oil magnate  had been so unlucky politically.
Naysayers thought the billionaire has hit cul-de-sac in his political journey, which started from All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA and has taken him to two other political parties, Labour Party and then Peoples’ Democratic Party, PDP.

In November 2017, Ubah dumped the PDP to return to APGA. Ubah was allegedly promised the APGA Anambra South Senatorial District ticket and before the party Senatorial primary, the businessman was the frontline aspirant.
With the assurance,  in return, put everything into supporting the party.
But a few hours before the primary, despite his immense contributions in consolidating and sustaining the party both in the past and in the present, APGA leadership announced the disqualification of Ubah on the pretext that he did not apply to obtain for the party waiver.

This, it was gathered, left Ubah heartbroken as he had spent so much to assist the party while hoping that the party would pay him back with the much coveted senatorial ticket.
The businessman was distraught  over the betrayal by the party leadership after all he had done to keep the party alive and  moving.
He was responsible for the payment of rent for all the offices of APGA nationwide. He was said to have also provided the needed logistics to sustain the party leadership during the days of Senator Victor Umeh’s leadership struggle with former Governor Peter Obi. He was also part of those who assisted Governor Willie Obiano to return to power by delivering his Anambra South during the Governor’s 2017 re-election campaign.

Despite the disappointment, the wealthy businessman  was not keen in leaving the party;  he wanted  to stay within to right whatever wrongs he might have been subjected to.
But he was literarily forced out of the party before he joined YPP.
In the opinions of many, it was a wrong move but he shocked many bookmakers when he emerged victorious at the poll, thereby putting an  end to the career of  the two political brothers and gladiators in the state-Chief Chris Uba, the senatorial candidate of the People’s Democratic Party PDP and  Senator Andy Uba of the All Progressive Congress, APC.
This has left the two brothers in political wilderness and will never forget him for the rest of their lives: he shockingly demystified them and made their  political dynasty crumble before their very eyes.
