“Senator Ifeanyi Ubah is 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 at the National Assembly, and the CEO of Capital Oil, his contributions to the development of Anambra State and Nigeria were also quite commendable

“Besides, 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 stressed 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 would be most missed.

He however conveyed his deepest condolences to Senator Ubah's family, friends, and associates during this difficult time, praying for his soul to rest in perfect peace as the family finds strength in his memorable legacies.
