The family of the late Senator Ifeanyi Ubah has announced the date for his burial.


A burial poster, spotted by our correspondent on Monday, signed by his first son, Ifeanyi Ubah (Jnr), on behalf of the family of the late senator, indicated that the deceased would be buried on Friday, November 22, 2024.


Ubah, who was a Senator, representing Anambra South Senatorial District in the National Assembly, died in London in July at the age of 52.


The businessman-turned-politician would have been 53 on September 3, 2024.


According to the poster, the ceremony will be a solemn moment to celebrate a life dedicated to service, leadership, and humanity.


It read, “With profound sadness and deep loss, the family of Senator Ifeanyi Ubah announces the arrangements for his funeral ceremony/interment. Senator Ubah was a loving husband, father and an accomplished statesman whose legacy will continue to inspire all those whose lives he touched.


“His departure has left a deep void, but we are comforted by the overwhelming support from friends, well-wishers, and the general public.


“We hereby announce that the interment/funeral ceremony of Senator Ifeanyi Ubah will take place on Friday, November 22, 2024. This will be a solemn moment as we lay him to rest and celebrate a life dedicated to service, leadership, and humanity.


“Further details, including the schedule of programmes and venues for his burial activities, will be announced by the National Burial Committee in due course. The family, alongside the Committee, is working to ensure that all arrangements will reflect the magnitude of the legacy he left behind.


“For those who wish to send condolence messages, we kindly request that scanned copies of these messages be forwarded to senifeanyiubahburial@gmail.com. Your expressions of sympathy and support will be greatly appreciated.”


The family used the opportunity to thank everyone who has shown them love, compassion and strength during this time of mourning, adding that their prayers and support mean more than words can express.


“May the soul of Senator Ifeanyi Ubah rest in perfect peace, and may his legacy continue to shine bright in our hearts,” it added.
