Ubah who died on 26th July, 2024 representing the Anambra South Senatorial District. He was also the Chairman, Senate Committee on Petroleum Downstream.
The senate defended itself in a statement Sunday by its Committee Chairman on Media and Public Affairs, Senator Yemi Adaramodu, APC, Ekiti South.
He said, “The Nigerian Senate has described as untrue, the recent news circulating about the Senate, purportedly failing to play a role in the burial of its late colleague, Ifeanyi Ubah.
“Contrary to insinuations in some misinformed quarters, the Senate accorded Senator Ubah all honours and rites as a sitting member of the Senate before his burial in Nnewi on Friday.”
“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.
