The Nation Newspaper Ifeanyi Ubah’s defection and Ndigbo

Sir: Defection by politicians from one political party to another has become a common feature in Nigeria’s political landscape since the beginning of the 4th Republic. It gained so much traction that it was a source of worry for parties who lose their heavyweights to rival parties just at the drop of a hat.is the latest to be caught in the web of defections afflicting our political space.

While speaking shortly after the defection, Senator Ifeanyi Ubah had said: “I want to be sincere, it has always been difficult for the Igbo people to key into the national party because of our sentiments and emotions. How can anyone attribute the wealth of 70 – 80 per cent of Igbo people to one man, simply because the man was governor of Lagos State from 1999 – 2007? Did the globally acknowledged Igbo nation start producing billionaires in 1999? Ifeanyi Ubah, as widely travelled as he is, knows full well that the making of wealth by the Igbos transcends persons and places, not to talk of someone of the recent era.
