YOU FAILED TO SUPPORT, PARTICIPATE IN IFEANYI UBA’S BURIAL – FAMILY ACCUSES SENATE

th 2024 11 26T052712.597

YOU FAILED TO SUPPORT, PARTICIPATE IN IFEANYI UBA’S BURIAL – FAMILY ACCUSES SENATE

The family of late Senator Ifeanyi Ubah has reiterated claims that the Nigerian Senate failed to adequately support and participate in the burial proceedings of the late legislator, who represented Anambra South Senatorial District.

These allegations come amid a public dispute with the Senate over its role in the funeral arrangements.

The leadership of the Senate was visibly absent at the ceremony as they did not send any key delegate or make financial contributions to the event which is against tradition.

According to Ubah’s family, the Senate leadership, under President Godswill Akpabio, neither set up a committee to liaise with the bereaved family nor provided financial support for the burial logistics. They also criticized the low turnout of senators at the funeral, which reportedly saw only nine out of 109 senators in attendance.

A family source stated, “The claim that 100 senators attended the night of tribute on November 18, 2024, in Abuja is false. Less than 30 senators were present. We challenge the Senate Spokesman to provide video or pictorial evidence to back his claims.”

Senator Yemi Adaramodu, Chairman of the Senate Committee on Media and Publicity, had earlier refuted these allegations, emphasizing that the Senate had honoured Senator Ubah with a valedictory session attended by Vice President Kashim Shettima and other dignitaries.

He added that the Senate had paid its respects by dedicating a legislative day to honor the late senator.

Family Rebuttal and Additional Claims
The family described the Senate’s activities as inadequate and accused the leadership of prioritizing social events over their late colleague’s burial. “On the same day of the funeral in Nnewi, the Senate President and some members attended the wedding of a colleague’s daughter in Lagos,” a source alleged.

“On Saturday, 17th August 2024, the Senate President led a delegation of four Senators – namely Senator Abiru Adetokunbo, Senator Saliu Mustapha, Senator Karimi Steve and Senator Osita Ngwu and attended the wedding of daughter of ranking Senator Victor Umeh, and been that he was in Lagos same day, paid a condolence visit to the family of Senator Ifeanyi Ubah in the same Lagos.”

“It is a big lie that 100 Senators attended the night of tribute of Senator Ifeanyi Ubah held on Monday evening, 18th Nov 2024 at NAF event centre Abuja. The Senators that attended the event were not up to 30 in number, despite the fact that the event held in Abuja.”

“Let the Senate Spokesman provide pictorial or video evidence to rebut this open fact instead of lying and deceiving the public that 100 Senators attended the event.”

The family further demanded transparency, urging the Senate to provide evidence of their financial contributions or substantial participation in the burial arrangements.

Context of Senator Ifeanyi Ubah’s Passing
Senator Ifeanyi Ubah, a prominent member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), passed away in July 2024 while in London. His death marked the loss of a notable philanthropist, businessman, and politician.

Call for Clarity
The family has maintained that the Senate’s actions during the burial lacked the respect befitting a serving senator. They continue to demand that the Senate Spokesman present verifiable evidence to counter these claims, ensuring accountability to the public.

    COURT STOPS UNN FOR CONDUCTING CONVOCATION ELECTION

    COURT STOPS UNN FROM CONDUCTING CONVOCATION ELECTION A Federal High Court in Enugu State has restrained the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN) from conducting its convocation election until the determination of a suit brought by some aspirants alleging a breach of the Standing Orders of Proceedings by the Acting Vice Chancellor, Professor Polycarp Chigbu. In the suit, filed under number FHC/E/CS/217/2024, the plaintiffs claim that Professor Chigbu violated sections 20 and 22 of the Standing Orders of the Convocation by unilaterally changing election procedures without a properly constituted convocation meeting. Sources allege that while the University Registrar was away on official duty, the Acting Vice Chancellor published a new set of procedures on November 21, 2024, disregarding the existing publication from November 7th and the Standing Order of Proceedings. Some perceive this action as favoring the Vice Chancellor’s close associate. The Standing Orders prohibit anyone, including the Vice Chancellor, from amending the proceedings without a duly constituted convocation meeting and a two-thirds majority vote. During the court proceedings on November 28, 2024, the judge adjourned the matter but emphasized that UNN, as a federal institution, should refrain from proceeding with the challenged process, having been duly served. Proceeding would be unacceptable under the law. Plaintiffs are calling on the University’s Pro-Chancellor, General Ike Nwachukwu (Rtd), to ensure due process is followed and prevent a brewing crisis. They argue that consulting stakeholders to change the Standing Orders is a “fraudulent tactic” and question the integrity of the hired company, ARROW FAST LIMITED, which has never undertaken similar projects before. C. D Eze,Esq counsel to the plaintiffs, stated that UNN’s actions regarding the election are subject to the court’s decision. The hearing is set for January 15, 2025. UNN’s Legal Adviser declined to comment on the matter.

    NIGERIANS LIVING FAKE GOOD LIFE’ PRIOR TO REMOVAL OF OIL SUBSIDY – TINUBU

    NIGERIANS LIVING ‘FAKE GOOD LIFE’ PRIOR TO REMOVAL OF OIL SUBSIDY – TINUBU President Bola Tinubu has said that Nigerians were living a “fake good life” prior to the removal of the fuel subsidy. Speaking at the 34th and 35th combined convocation ceremonies of the Federal University of Technology Akure (FUTA) in Ondo State, Tinubu, who was represented by the Vice Chancellor of the University of Ilorin, Prof. Wahab Egbewole, explained that his administration’s decision to remove the petrol subsidy and unify exchange rates was necessary to prevent the country from falling into an economic crisis. Tinubu noted that although the subsidies were intended to support the poor, they ultimately benefitted the wealthy, leaving average Nigerians to bear the brunt of an unstable economy. “As you are all aware, we took the baton of authority at a time when our economy was nose-diving as a result of heavy debts from fuel and dollar subsidies,” he said. He continued: “The subsidies were meant to support the poor and make life better for all Nigerians. Unfortunately, the good life we thought we were living was a fake one that was capable of leading the country to a total collapse unless drastic efforts were urgently taken. “The need to salvage the future of our children and bring the country back from the brink of collapse necessitated the strategic decisions to remove the fuel subsidy and also unify the exchange rates.” Tinubu assured Nigerians that the policies implemented by his administration were already yielding results, with signs of economic recovery. “The present challenges call for a high degree of patriotism, and I can assure all Nigerians that there is light at the end of the tunnel. After rain comes sunshine. The brighter days are almost here,” Tinubu said.
