elections, Peter Obi, has mourned the passing of Senator Ifeanyi Ubah.
Recall that Ifeanyi Ubah died in London on Saturday
Reacting to the development, Obi, in a statement on his X
handle, said Ubah’s death was a rude shock.
“I received a rude shock this morning, the news of the death
of my dear younger brother, and Senator Representing Anambra South Senatorial
District, Senator Ifeanyi Ubah.”
Obi recalled that he was welcomed by Ubah after attending
the burial of Chief Pius Onwuzo in Nnewi, Anambra State, on July 12th.
Obi also prayed that God should grant Ubah eternal rest.
“Senator Ubah personally welcomed me at the burial and
requested that I visit his house for lunch, to which I pleaded with him to
reschedule to another date as I already had several engagements for the day.
“During our discussions on the state of the nation, he told
me that he now understands my commitment to the progress of humanity and that
he aligns with it.
“He assured me that, despite our party differences, we would
work together as a family, in serving our people.
“Similarly, despite party differences, I commended him for
his contributions to a better humanity through his Ifeanyi Ubah Foundation, via
which he cared for the less privileged in society, by investing in their
education and health and pulling people out of poverty. I urged him to continue
in that direction.
“May God Almighty who called him home, at this time, forgive
his sins and grant him eternal rest, and grant his family, the entire Anambra
South Senatorial District; Anambra State; Nigeria; and all of us, the fortitude
to bear this sad irreplaceable loss.
“God Almighty protect and bless his family always.”
