Ifeanyi Ubah, a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), passed away at the age of 52 in a London hospital following a brief illness in July.

He had defected from the Young Progressives Party (YPP) to the APC in October 2023 and had announced his intention to run for the Anambra 2025 governorship election.
Prior to his death, he served as the chairman of the Senate Committee on Petroleum Downstream, a position now held by Kano South Senator Kawu Sumaila.
During the session, Senator Ndume called on his colleagues to support the late Ubah’s widow in continuing his legacy by filling his vacated seat.
He highlighted that in the past, some deceased senators were succeeded by their wives or relatives, while others entered the Senate through the influence of their husbands or fathers.
He appealed for the same opportunity to be extended to Mrs. Ubah.
