Ugwumba Chika Ishionwu, the facilitator of For Us By Us FUBU Movement, who recently defected to  APC after resigning from LP says the APC has more to offer the youths than LP.


In an interaction with dailyldger.com.ng, he says: "Why did I resign from LP and am now in APC? LP does not share our vision of  politics as a means of acquiring leverage to empower or improve the socio-economic lives of the largest number of persons. The emergence of LP as the party in power in Abia is as a result of the revolt by these largest number of persons against a political party that held the people in bondage for 24 years. 


"After its victory in Abia in 2023, LP, unfortunately failed to re appraise it's  vision and mission with particular reference to Abia State, in order to understand what they represent to Abians. For me,  specifically in my LG, Ikwuano, certain persons in the driving seat of LP   failed to properly contextualize the burdens of their office and the expectations of the people. For me as a visioner and evangelist for good governance, it was a painful reality.


"Ours is an LG densely populated by vibrant and progressive youths, and by defecting to the APC which  has potentials and prospects of buying into our vision and mission, am only being pragmatic. I have identified a vehicle which can take us to the Promisedland. My defection to APC was deeply interrogated by FUBU, and alas, it was the inevitable option"
