Peter Obi Mourns ‘Younger Brother’ Ifeanyi Ubah

Former Nigerian presidential contender Peter Obi has expressed deep sadness and grief over the death of Senator Ifeanyi Ubah, referring to the late politician as his younger brother.

The late politician, 53, belonged to the All Progressives Congress (APC), which is currently in power.

In a Saturday homage on X.com, Obi stated that he had a pleasant talk with Ubah only last week at the Nnewi, Anambra State, funeral of Chief Pius Onwuzo.

He wrote: “I received a rude shock this morning, the news of the death of my dear younger brother, and Senator representing Anambra South Senatorial District, Senator Ifeanyi Ubah. We were all together on July 12, at the burial of Chief Pius Onwuzo in Nnewi, Anambra State.

“Senator Ubah personally welcomed me at the burial and requested that I visit his house for lunch, to which I pleaded with him to reschedule to another date as I already had several engagements for the day.

“Similarly, despite party differences, I commended him for his contributions to a better humanity through his Ifeanyi Ubah Foundation, via which he cared for the less privileged in society, by investing in their education, and health and pulling people out of poverty.

“I urged him to continue in that direction. May God Almighty who called him home, at this time, forgive his sins and grant him eternal rest, and grant his family, the entire Anambra South Senatorial District; Anambra State; Nigeria; and all of us, the fortitude to bear his sad irreplaceable loss. God Almighty protect and bless his family always.”

We are deeply sorry for the loss of your beloved brother. May his soul rest in perfect peace.

Live with Purpose, Love with Passion. Remember to be happy

One ❤️❤️❤️
