As other prominent Nigerians mourn Senator Ifeanyi Ubah, Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has described his passage as shocking and a great loss to the country, his home state of Anambra and Lagos where the deceased established most of his businesses.
Ubah, who hailed from Otolo, Nnewi, in Nnewi North Local Government Area of Anambra State, died in London on Saturday at the age of 52.
The member of the All Progressives Congress was won his senatorial re-election in 2023 under YPP before he defected to the APC.
Sanwo-Olu described the late Ubah as an astute businessman and politician who contributed his quota towards nation-building as representative of his people in the Red Chamber of the National Assembly.
Governor Sanwo-Olu expressed his “heartfelt condolences” to the immediate family of the deceased, his friends, colleagues and associates, especially the good people of Anambra South, on the loss of their illustrious son.
The governor also commiserated with the President of the Senate, Dr. Godswill Akpabio, all senators, the entire National Assembly and the governor of Anambra State, Prof. Charles Soludo.
He prayed for the repose of the soul of the dead and for God to grant the family the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss.
