“I appeal to you, Mr. President, to keep the spirit and aspirations of Ifeanyi alive,” Ndume stated.

Stating Uchenna Ubah’s suitability, he added, “His wife, fortunately, is around 50 years old and was a wonderful support system to him. I appeal to my distinguished colleagues to support the idea of his family having a representative in this chamber. This will ensure continuity and honor for Anambra South Senatorial District.”
Uchenna Ubah was present in the Senate Chamber during the session held in her late husband’s honor.
