Sanwo-Olu mourns Ifeanyi Ubah

Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State has described the death of Senator Ifeanyi Ubah as shocking and a great loss to Nigeria, Anambra and Lagos, where the deceased established most of his businesses.

This was contained in a statement on Saturday, by the Special Adviser to Sanwo-Olu on Media and Publicity, Gboyega Akosile.

The governor described Ubah as an astute businessman and politician, who contributed his quota towards nation-building as a representative of his people in the Senate.

The statement partly reads, “Governor Sanwo-Olu expresses 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 commiserates with the President of the Senate, Dr. Godswill Akpabio, all the distinguished Senators and the entire National Assembly and the Governor of Anambra State, Professor Charles Soludo, over the unfortunate demise of Senator Ubah.

“He prays for the repose of the soul of the dead and for God to grant the family the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss.”

PUNCH Online earlier reported that Ubah, who represented Anambra South in the National Assembly, died in a hotel in London, the United Kingdom, on Saturday.

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