The Governor of Anambra State, Professor Chukwuma Charles Soludo, is in deep mourning following the unexpected passing of Senator Ifeanyi Ubah, who died today in London at the age of 52. Ubah, a dynamic businessman and influential politician, leaves behind a significant legacy.
In a heartfelt statement, Governor Soludo expressed his sorrow over the premature departure of Senator Ubah, who represented the Anambra South Senatorial district. He noted that this tragic event comes at a challenging time for the region, especially after the recent loss of another esteemed leader, Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu.
Describing Ubah as a distinguished son of Anambra and a remarkable figure in Nigerian politics and business, Soludo highlighted his vital role in both spheres. As a senator and the CEO of Capital Oil, Ubah made notable contributions to the advancement of Anambra State and the nation at large.
Additionally, the governor recognized Ubah’s philanthropic spirit, acknowledging how his generosity positively impacted countless individuals, particularly through job creation and innovative business strategies.
In a statement released by Christain Aburime, Soludo’s Chief Press Secretary, the governor reflected on their relationship, stating that despite differing political views, Ubah was a cherished younger brother and friend. His unwavering commitment to the progress of Anambra State will be sorely missed.
Governor Soludo extended his deepest sympathies to Ubah’s family, friends, and associates during this trying time, praying for the peaceful repose of the senator’s soul and wishing strength for his loved ones as they honor his enduring legacy.
