The Senate has mourned the death of one of its members, Ifeanyi Ubah, who died on Saturday in London, United Kingdom.

Ubah, the Chief Executive Officer of Capital Oil, would have turned 53 on September 3.

The Senate spokesperson, Yemi Adaramodu, confirmed Ubah’s death to our correspondent on Saturday.

In a statement issued on behalf of the Senate, Adaramodu described the late Ubah as an exemplary leader and an indefatigable advocate for his constituents.

He added that the Senate condoled with the family of the late senator.

The statement added, “Throughout his tenure in the Senate, Senator Ubah demonstrated unwavering dedication to the progress and development of Anambra South and Nigeria as a whole.

“He was a beacon of hope, a champion of economic empowerment, and a steadfast supporter of legislative reforms aimed at improving the lives of all Nigerians.

“The Nigerian Senate extends our deepest sympathies to Senator Ubah’s family, friends, and constituents. We also offer our heartfelt condolences to the Government and people of Anambra State.

“We pray that they find strength and solace in the legacy of service and dedication he leaves behind. His memory will forever remain in our hearts, and his contributions to our nation’s progress will continue to inspire us all.”

Expressing his condolences, the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, remarked, “Senator Ifeanyi Ubah was a dedicated and passionate legislator whose contributions have left an indelible mark on our nation.

“His commitment to his constituents and his work in the Senate were exemplary. He will be greatly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing and working with him.”

Ubah, who was re-elected into the 10th Senate under the Young Peoples Party, had last year defected to the All Progressives Congress.
