PHOTOS: Obi, Ozigbo, others storm Nnewi for Senator Ubah’s burial
Former presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the last election, Mr Peter Obi and Valentine Ozigbo, the Labour Party governorship hopeful in Anambra State, are among the dignitaries who stormed Nnewi for the burial of late Senator Ifeanyi Ubah.
Ubah, a politician and oil magnet, representing Anambra South District in the National Assembly, died in the United Kingdom in July.
The Senator, who defected from the Young Progressives Party (YPP) to the ruling APC last year, was said to have left the country for London two days before his unfortunate death.
The businessman, until his death served as the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Capital Oil, founded in 2001.
Meanwhile, the Nigerian Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, during a valedictory speech on Wednesday, described the late lawmaker as a visionary with extraordinary empathy for all and a champion for economic empowerment and community development.
Akpabio said Ubah’s death was a huge deficit in the political terrain of the country.
