“It is a great thing to be born but a tragedy for one not to know why he was born.” My man your entrance into this world and your life is unarguably a testament of greatness in all facets of human existence.

Death, how cruel of you!
I am deeply saddened by the unannounced, sudden demise of my dear friend and brother Senator Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah. Life is a fleeting gift, and Ifeanyi made the most of his. He lived each day with passion and purpose.

Ifeanyi was first and foremost a devoted family man, who was bound to his wife and children by an unbreakable love that endured until his final moment. I pray that God gives his family the strength to bear this loss and the fortitude to soldier on.

BREAKING: Senator Ifeanyi Ubah is dead

As a distinguished Senator representing Anambra South Senatorial District, he will be remembered for his unwavering commitment to the people of Anambra and his extraordinary ability to defy all odds. He was a true man of the people, drawing his strength from the grassroots and the downtrodden, rather than the so-called elite who detested his guts.

Ifeanyi’s philanthropic gestures endeared him to countless individuals. Despite his stature, he never intimidated anyone in any way shape or form. Instead, he stood as a beacon of support, rescuing our people when maligned by those with means and power. He was an extraordinary giver, not out of a desire for political gain, but because it was simply in his nature, even before he entered the political arena.

His work ethic was second to none. He surged to the limelight in his business career, conquering all territories of human endeavor in such a short time, and he continued to serve humanity actively until his last breath.

Ifeanyi, your legacy will forever be etched in our hearts and your loss will always wear heavy. I can only thank God that I got to share a great friendship with you and experience you first hand. You are an innovator, an initiator and an indomitable executor. The magical effort you exhumed in curbing insecurity in Nnewi and its environs towered as one of the greatest legacy you left for our people.

Myself, my family, great Nnewi town, Anambra South Senatorial District, Anambra and Nigeria will miss you greatly. The vacuum your sudden death created will be hard to fill. We are not mourning hopelessly but we find solace in that unwavering astute dogged determination to succeed in everything you set out to do. For you nothing is impossible for him that says I will. Like all mortals you have your flaws but in the face of your mistakes, you are always humble to make amends.

Rest in peace onye nkem, till we meet again! May your good soul rest in perfect peace.
