He Planned Running For Something – Governor Soludo Recalls Last Discussion With Ifeanyi Ubah

On Friday, November 22, Governor Chukwuma Soludo of Anambra State recounted his last conversation with the late Senator Ifeanyi Ubah.

Ubah, who was Anambra South Senator, died in the United Kingdom, UK, on July 27 at the age of 52 years.

Speaking during the funeral service held for the late Ubah at St. Peter Claver Parish, Umuanukam Otolo, Nnewi, Anambra State, Soludo said death was not part of his discussion with Ubah.

The governor said he, Ubah, and Emeka Offor planned a meeting due to the late lawmaker’s intentions to run for “something.”

Soludo said he was waiting for Offor to set a date for the meeting when he learnt of Ubah’s death.

According to Soludo: “I still remember when we met sometime in May this year, and I asked him that it seems he was nursing an ambition for something and he told me that he also would want to be part of it.

“And he also said that the only way out is for Sir Emeka Offor to convene a meeting at our instance.

“Then later, Emeka Offor also echoed the same thing, and we both agreed, and it was that meeting that we were still waiting for before someone sent me a message about his death.

“I did not believe it, until a senator called to tell me.

“I then called his wife and she confirmed it but that was not what we discussed and agreed on.

“And I ask him, is this what we discussed?”
