The Nigerian Senate will today hold a special tribute session to honour the late Senator Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah, former representative of Anambra South. The poignant ceremony, scheduled for today, will pay respect to the life and service of Ubah, who passed away recently.
At the heart of the National Assembly Complex, the casket containing the remains of the late senator lies in state at the foyer of the White House wing, awaiting the commencement of the tribute session. This solemn occasion is set to be an emotional one for the Senate and for the nation.
The session’s order paper features a single item: “Valedictory Session,” underscoring the gravity of the occasion. Ubah’s seat in the chamber, a symbol of his role in the Senate, has been draped in cloth bearing the colours of the Nigerian flag and decorated with flowers as a tribute to his memory.
In an inclusive gesture, the session will be open to non-senators, allowing dignitaries, colleagues, and guests to pay their respects to the late senator. It will be a moment to reflect on his contributions to Nigeria’s political landscape and the impact of his service to his constituents and the nation as a whole.
