Anambra NUJ mourns Senator Ifeanyi Ubah

The Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), Anambra State Council, has mourned the passing of the senator representing Anambra South, Senator Ifeanyi Ubah.

In a press release by the state chairman of the union, Dr Emeka Odogwu, the union said it wishes to condole with the immediate family of the late distinguished Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, late Senator Dr. Ifeanyi Ubah, (Ebubuchukwu Uzo Nnewi), Senator representing Anambra South Senatorial District, on his untimely death.

The release further read: “NUJ Anambra State condoles with Mr President, Federal Republic of Nigeria, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the Senate President, Senator Godswill Akpabio and the entire National Assembly, the Governor of Anambra State, Prof. Charles Chukwuma Soludo, CFR, his constituents and his local Government area, for this irreparable loss.

“The passing of Senator Ubah, who reportedly died in the United Kingdom during a walkout with his son aroused sorrowful emotions and grief as nobody expected given that he was full of life a few days ago.

“Not only that, it is regrettable considering his personality and the office he is currently holding as the Senator, representing Anambra South District.

“Worst still, this is a man, who has just offered himself to run for the 2025 gubernatorial election under the Umbrella of the All Progressive Congress (APC).

“However, from the different testimonials, Senator Ubah was an outstanding philanthropist who left indelible footprints on the sands of time in all ramifications, such as charity, selfless services, and benefactor to many.

“As we commiserate with the wife, Barr Mrs Uche Ubah, and children, the family, the Senatorial District, Anambra State and the Federal Republic of Nigeria, we enjoin all of us to glorify the Almighty God for the wonderful life he lived and good legacies he left behind.

“NUJ as a union and journalists working in different media houses across the world benefited from Dr Ubah’s philanthropy in one way or the other. NUJ shares with all concerned in this moment of grief and we pray that the Almighty God will grant the immediate family and all of us the fortitude, and strength to bear irreparable loss.

“Of course, there is no doubt that the good work performed by the most distinguished Senator on earth before his demise will speak volumes for him. May his soul rest in peace. Amen.”
