On Tuesday, the Nigerian Senate dedicated its entire plenary session to a solemn tribute for the late Senator Ifeanyi Ubah, who represented Anambra South. In a moving display, the casket bearing Ubah’s remains was placed in the foyer of the Senate’s White House wing, directly outside the Senate Chamber. The day’s agenda featured only one item: a valedictory session honoring the senator’s legacy.
Senate President Godswill Akpabio led the proceedings in traditional Isi-Enyi attire, complete with a red cap and dark sunglasses, symbolizing respect for the late senator. Senate Leader Opeyemi Bamidele also wore traditional Isi-Agwu attire, further underscoring the cultural significance of the tribute. Ubah’s seat was decorated with flowers and draped in Nigerian flag colors, marking his lasting presence in the chamber.
The session was opened to a broad gathering, welcoming dignitaries and special guests who came to pay their respects. Among those in attendance were Vice President Kashim Shettima, former Anambra State Governor Chris Ngige, and former Senator Uche Ekwunife. The occasion also saw the wives of the Senate’s presiding and principal officers, including Ekaette Akpabio, Hajiya Jibrin Barau, and Oluyemisi Bamidele, present to lend their support.
In a touching moment, Speaker of the House of Representatives Tajudeen Abbas led a delegation of House leaders in a solemn walk around Senator Ubah’s casket, reflecting the deep respect shared across Nigeria’s legislative chambers.
The atmosphere was solemn and reflective as the Senate celebrated Senator Ifeanyi Ubah’s contributions and legacy in Nigerian politics, remembering his dedication to the legislative body and his impact on the nation.
