As friends and associates of fallen business mogul, Senator Ifeanyi Ubah, continue to react to his death, the Governor of Anambra State, Professor Chukwuma Soludo, has expressed profound shock and grief over the sudden demise of Senator Ifeanyi Ubah.
In a press release by his Press Secretary, Mr Christian Aburime, Soludo described Ubah as a younger brother who remained dear to him for his quest for Anambra’s betterment, despite their political differences.
The release also said that Ubah’s death came as a sorely regrettable loss to Anambra South and Anambra State as a whole, saying it was also regrettable that it came shortly after Ndigbo lost another great son, Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu.
The release read in part: “The Governor has described Senator Ifeanyi Ubah as a prominent son of Anambra State and an outstanding Nigerian whose impact on the polity and business sphere was quite significant.
“As the representative of Anambra South Senatorial District in the National Assembly, and the CEO of Capital Oil, his contributions to the development of Anambra State and Nigeria were also quite commendable.
“Senator Ubah was a magnanimous philanthropist whose generosity touched countless lives as an employer of labour and a businessman of remarkable vision and acumen.
“The Governor further remarks that, despite their political differences and contestations, Senator Ubah remained a dear younger brother and friend to him as his selfless passion for the progress of Anambra State will be most missed.
”He conveys his condolences to Senator Ubah’s family, friends, and associates, during this difficult time and prays that the soul of the deceased rests in peace.’’
