The former Nigerian presidential candidate, Peter Obi, expressed his deep sadness at the passing of Ifeanyi Ubah, a Nigerian Senator whom he considered a younger brother. Ubah, who represented Anambra South and was the Chief Executive Officer of Capital Oil, passed away at the age of 53.
In a tribute, Obi recounted a recent conversation he had with Ubah at a funeral, praising the late Senator for his charitable work through the Ifeanyi Ubah Foundation. Despite their political differences, Obi acknowledged Ubah’s contributions to healthcare, education, and poverty alleviation for the less privileged.
Obi fondly remembered his last meeting with Ubah and their plans for lunch, expressing his shock at the sudden news of Ubah’s passing. He extended his condolences to Ubah’s family, Anambra South Senatorial District, and the entire nation, praying for his eternal rest and urging others to continue Ubah’s legacy of helping those in need.
