Ifeanyi Ubah, senator representing Anambra South senatorial
district, is dead.
The Anambra Senator was said to have passed on in London on
Friday night.
Yemi Adaramodu, chairman, Senate Committee on public
affairs, also confirmed the senator’s demise in a statement on Saturday.
“It is with deep sorrow and profound regret that the Nigeria
Senate announces the passing of our esteemed colleague, Senator Ifeanyi Uba,
who until his passing represented the Anambra South Senatorial District,” the
statement reads.
“Senator Uba was an
exemplary leader, a committed public servant, and an indefatigable advocate for
his constituents. His untimely departure represents a significant loss to the
Senate, his community, and the nation at large.
“Prior to his illustrious career in public service, Senator
Ifeanyi Uba distinguished himself as a prominent businessman and
philanthropist. As the founder and CEO of Capital Oil and Gas Industries
Limited, he made substantial contributions to Nigeria’s energy sector,
fostering economic growth and creating numerous job opportunities. Through the
Ifeanyi Uba Foundation, his philanthropic endeavors provided scholarships,
healthcare, and vital support to the less privileged, profoundly impacting
countless lives.
“Throughout his tenure in the Senate, Senator Uba
demonstrated unwavering dedication to the progress and development of Anambra
South and Nigeria as a whole. He was a beacon of hope, a champion of economic
empowerment, and a steadfast supporter of legislative reforms aimed at
improving the lives of all Nigerians.”
Senate President Godswill Akpabio described Ubah as a
“dedicated and passionate legislator whose contributions have left an indelible
mark on our nation”.
Akpabio said Ubah’s commitment to his constituents and his
work in the senate were “exemplary”, adding that he will be “greatly missed by
all who had the privilege of knowing and working with him”.
Ubah, who joined the All Progressives Congress, APC, a few
months ago, was billed to seek the party’s ticket ahead of the Anambra State
governorship election.
But a source claimed he made a monetary donation to the
Anambra APC two days ago.
Ifeanyi Ubah’s death comes just few days after the
President-General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu passed on.
