As Ifeanyi Ubah Goes Home in a Blaze of Glory

The late Senator Ifeanyi Ubah would be compared with a shooting star across the midnight sky that suddenly disappeared unannounced when many were still amazed by its beauty.

Until his death, the senator who represented Anambra South Senatorial District touched many lives, he gave laughter to many homes, fed many hungry mouths, gave succour to many hearts and gave hope to many hopeless.

Though his style and approach to some issues may be distasteful to many, he held his passion with absolute conviction, fighting many battles that would easily cowered the faint hearts. He dared the mighty, ventured into the unknown, and took the trophies everywhere he went. He was simply fearless!

Since his death was announced in July, tributes have been pouring in for the man whose milk of kindness has variously been described as second to none.

The man, who was also the Chairman, Capital Oil, was generous to a fault. He was unapologetically committed to the upliftment of his community, while also helping the course of humanity.

Society Watch gathered there were many remarkable tributes about the countless lives he touched and the enduring legacy he left behind during his lying-in-state.

Ubah was described as a tenacious businessman, philanthropist and public servant. Throughout his lifetime, he dedicated himself to the service of the people of his state and constituency.

As the titan went home last Friday in a blaze of glory after his remains were committed to Mother Earth, it became obvious that the nation as a whole would surely miss a shrewd businessman, distinguished politician and man born to serve humanity.
