Senator Ifeanyi Ubah, who represents Anambra South, asserted that roughly 80 percent of Igbo people have obtained their wealth through the legacy created by President Bola Tinubu in Lagos state.

Ubah made this statement following his official induction into the All Progressives Congress (APC) on October 12, 2023, in Abuja. The senator expressed his belief that Tinubu possesses the capability to effectively lead and govern Nigeria.

“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.

“Since our president has emerged and I put that challenge to each Igbo man today in Nigeria, 70% – 80% of them derive their wealth from the legacy that the president has left in Lagos.

“Our president is the politician that understands how it pâins and how to console everybody. He has that capacity.”

Ubah said he joined APC because he wanted the south-east to align with Tinubu’s administration.
