In his withdrawal statement dated May 20, 2026, Ube stated that the decision was taken in the overall interest of party unity, progress, and the greater good of the constituency. After extensive consultations with supporters, political associates, elders, and stakeholders, he resolved to step down in support of Hon. Moses Egbodo.
Ube heartily congratulated Hon. Moses Egbodo and pledged his unwavering support and commitment towards ensuring his success in the forthcoming election. He expressed sincere appreciation to his supporters, well-wishers, and the leadership of the APC for their trust and steadfast encouragement throughout the process.
