Presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 general elections, Peter Obi,
joined political leaders, industry captains, and Nigerians from all walks of life in Nnewi on Saturday to bid farewell to the late Senator Ifeanyi Ubah. 
In an emotional statement, Obi described Ubah’s passing as a “rude shock” and a profound loss to the nation.
Reflecting on Ubah’s life, Obi highlighted his contributions beyond politics. “Senator Ubah contributed to a better society through his not-for-profit organization, which cared for the less privileged by investing in their education, health, and poverty alleviation,” he noted.
Obi emphasized the brevity of life, particularly for those entrusted with leadership responsibilities. “His death should remind us… that we only have a limited time here on earth to serve the people under our care and leave lasting legacies for generations to come,” he said.
Extending condolences to the Ubah family, the Senate, and the people of Anambra South Senatorial District, Obi prayed for God’s comfort and strength during this time of grief. He also called on leaders to honor Ubah’s legacy by prioritizing service and uplifting the lives of those they lead.
As Nigerians mourn the loss of a distinguished leader, Obi’s tribute is a poignant reminder of the importance of compassion, service, and the enduring impact of a life dedicated to others.
