The former Speaker of the Benue State House of Assembly and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate in the 2023 general elections, Titus Uba, has shared his reasons for leaving the PDP and offering his full support to Governor Hyacinth Alia of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Uba’s defection has sparked significant political reactions throughout Benue State, especially considering his role as the PDP's candidate in the recent gubernatorial elections.
In discussing his decision, Uba expressed that he felt neglected by the PDP during a critical time in his life, contrasting this with the personal support he received from Governor Alia.
“During my illness, no one from my previous party, the PDP, showed concern for my well-being.

He supported me when I needed it the most,” Uba stated.
