To Mark His Defection From PDP To APGA, Ifeanyi Ubah Sets Date To Throw Multi-Million Naira Party, Despite Owing Workers’ Salaries
Despite not being able to pay his workers, Oil Magnate and Managing Director of Capital Oil and Gas Limited, Ifeanyi Ubah, is set to throw a multi-million naira party, to celebrate his defection to the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA.
The event will hold on November 13, 2017, at the Ifeanyi Ubah Games Village, Nnewi.

One of his aggrieved staff, on Thursday, said that “the so-called rally has already gulped millions of Naira and our boss still owes salaries ranging from 3 to 9 months.
“This is unfair. It was only last week that security staff, bodyguards, Authority 91.9FM radio workers, cleaners at the stadium and Ifeanyi Ubah FC players got two months payment out of their arrears.
“But overall, those yet to get any form of payment, including me, in the last 9 months are in the majority. How do we survive? Why are we being treated this way?”
Another staff of the company in Lagos, who spoke on condition of anonymity, lamented that Ifeanyi Ubah was “insensitive” to their condition.
The source recalled that for years, staff were asked to forget unpaid months or leave the company.
“Due to this issue, lives have been shattered, marriages have been broken. Think of those who can’t meet family demands. The truth is that since his (Ubah’s) ordeal with DSS, work has really slowed down.

“So it’s a case of less money coming in, but those at the top not minding; not giving a damn. They are still living that expensive lifestyle, ignoring poor workers’ salary arrears of 14 to 16 months!
“In 2016, some of us got only 7 to 10 months’ salary out of 2 months in year. Same thing happened in previous years. And the sad thing is when you complain, the management advise you to walk away.
“They literally tell us to be thankful that we even have jobs; that there are millions of unemployed youths that will gladly accept jobs that don’t guarantee regular payment.
“Imagine what we are going through in our country. Please help us expose them. Our ogas seem okay with the situation because they, of course, get their pay as at when due. We mean nothing to them.”
Recall that Ubah formally dumped the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, last weekend, ahead of the November 18 governorship election in Anambra.
National Working Committee of the PDP had in September suspended him for “anti-party activities”.

The party got infuriated that Ubah announced his decision to take legal action against the outcome of the governorship primaries that produced Oseloka Obaze, in spite of warnings against intra-party law suits.
