| RIP: Senator Ifeanyi Ubah is Dead |
The death of Senator Ifeanyi Ubah is sad news to all his family and friends. It may only be the convenient epithet of an era in which one of Nigeria's leading political figures has ceased to exert influence and make his salutary impact on Nigerian society.
There are few men whose passing shook not only their constituency but the whole of Nigeria to its very foundation like Senator Ifeanyi Ubah, as his legacies have been that of a consummate politician with a penchant for service delivery and community development. Imran Obanikoro, a US-trained leading opposition member and state finance commissioner from Lagos, said Ubah had always been known for his fidelity to the cause of his people and driving positive change in Nigeria.ABOUT THE LIFE AND TIMES OF SEN.
