The Nigerian Senate has given details of how it mourned late colleague, Senator Ifeanyi Uba before his burial in Nnewi on Friday.
A statement today, November 24 debunking news circulating about the failure of the Senate to play a role in the burial of late Ifeanyi Ubah, said that contrary to insinuations in some misinformed quarters, the Senate accorded Senator Ubah all honours and rites.
The statement by the chairman, Senate Committee on Media and Publicity, Yemi Adaramodu, said: “for the first time in the history of the National Assembly, a whole Legislative day was dedicated to paying Tributes to our departed colleague. His seat was adorned with the national flag which was huge honor and recognition of his contributions to the Senate and the good people he represented.
“The Nigerian Senate did not abandon the late Senator and his family right from the moment the news of his death became public knowledge news.
“In fact, the Senate commiserated with the people and government of Anambra State over his death.
“The President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio, it would be recalled, had immediately after the demise of our late colleague was made public, led a high powered delegation of some principal officers and members of the Senate to the Lagos residence of the late Senator to commiserate with his wife and children.
“Almost 100 Senators of the 109 members attended a valedictory session held in his honor, where senators including vice president Kashim Shettima paid tribute to his accomplishments as a, philanthropist, businessman and politician.
The Senate said that this action was a demonstration of the Senate’s respect and appreciation for Senator Ubah’s contributions.
It stressed that substantial members of the Senate were in Nnewi on behalf of the Senate which had earlier reached out to the family before his burial.
“Having done all that in his honor and some sections of the media saw that as an abandonment, it shows that the minds behind the ill-informed story were expecting distinguished Senators to storm Nnewi in a show-off, while mourning the untimely demise of their colleague.
“It is preposterous that anyone under any guise would suggest that the Senate failed in its role to honor the memory of Senator Ifeanyi Ubah.”
