The incumbent National Chairman of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Barrister Sly Ezeokenwa, has mourned the passing of Senator Ifeanyi Ubah, who represented Anambra South Senatorial District.
“Words fail me as I grapple with the devastating loss of my dear big brother and friend, Senator Ifeanyi Ubah,” Ezeokenwa expressed.
“The sorrow that weighs on my heart is twofold. We have lost a great son of Ndi Igbo as well as a towering figure in both politics and other areas of national life, whom I shared my last flight with a few days ago. On that journey, we exchanged anecdotes about our personal lives and hopes for the future. Little did I know that our conversation would be our last.”
Ezeokenwa noted that Senator Ubah’s passing has left a profound void in Anambra State and the wider Nigerian community. Despite their political differences, Ezeokenwa acknowledged Ubah as a consummate statesman who utilized his business acumen and philanthropic spirit to positively impact their state and nation.
“His unwavering dedication to the progress of our dear state will be sorely missed, as will his remarkable legacy,” he stated.
Reflecting on Ubah’s contributions, Ezeokenwa highlighted the senator’s commitment to the development of Anambra South and his efforts to uplift the lives of many through various initiatives.
“Senator Ubah was a man who believed in the power of giving back to the society and empowering the less privileged,” Ezeokenwa remarked.
At this difficult time, Ezeokenwa extended his heartfelt condolences to Ubah’s family, friends, loved ones, and the entire Ndi Anambra. “May they find solace in the outpouring of love and support from all corners of the nation,” he added.
Ezeokenwa also called for unity and solidarity among the people of Anambra State in honoring Senator Ubah’s memory. “Let us come together to celebrate his life and continue his work in advancing the well-being of our community,” he urged.
The APGA National Chairman pledged that the party would honor Senator Ubah’s legacy by upholding the values he stood for and continuing to work towards the betterment of Anambra State. “Senator Ubah’s vision for a prosperous and inclusive society will remain a guiding light for us all,” Ezeokenwa promised.
Finally, Ezeokenwa requested a moment of silence and prayers for the late senator, emphasizing the need to remember his contributions and the positive impact he made on many lives. “Senator Ifeanyi Ubah’s spirit will live on in our hearts, and his work will continue to inspire future generations,” he said.
The entire APGA family joined the nation in mourning the loss of Senator Ifeanyi Ubah, celebrating his life, and cherishing the memories of a man who dedicated his life to public service and the betterment of his people.
