The declaration tour that lasted from April 19 – 29, 2021 was a huge success as residents have promised to vote him in forthcoming election comes November.
Ubah, an astute businessman and a consummate entrepreneur is still the highest employer of labour after the Anambra state government as many have weighed him.
According to senator Ubah “I wish to use this medium to register my appreciation and heartfelt gratitude to my family, friends, team, grassroots structures, Stakeholders, YPP Party leadership and members, teeming supporters and people too numerous to mention for their commitment and overwhelming support.
“Over the past 10 days, we defied all odds and toured the entire 21 Local Government Areas in Anambra where I met and established lasting bonds of friendship with indigenes from different parts of our dear State who share similar values and aspirations for a better, stronger and greater Anambra.
“It has been encouraging and worthwhile to meet so many new people who despite the ravaging Security situation in the state came out en masse to welcome our tour team/train. Your volunteerism and commitment made a colossal difference in the success of our tour. From the depth of my heart, words are not enough to express how much your effort, words of encouragement and support is truly appreciated.
Having actively played a progressive role in the Ninth Assembly, the tremendous knowledge and wealth of experience gained so far in public service have further strengthened my confidence in taking this bold step which is anchored on the basis of revamping and consolidating Anambra’s credentials as the “Light of the Nation”.
He however, south the support of Anambrans by vote for him in the forthcoming election: “Conclusively, with your continued support, I look forward to justify the confidence, support and trust reposed on me. May God in his infinite mercy reward us all and crown our efforts with resounding success!
