The President of the Senate, Senator Godswill Akpabio has recalled how threw his phone upon hearing the sudden death of Senator Ifeanyi Ubah, saying he was jolted.
Akpabio stated this on Saturday when he led some of his colleagues on a condolence visit to the widow of the late lawmaker, Uchenna, in his Lagos residence.
In a statement by his Special Assistant on Media, Jackson Udom, the President of the Senate said, “I was jolted when I received the news of the death of a very dedicated and patriotic colleague, Senator Ifeanyi Ubah. When I received a call from Senator Mpigi that I should talk to you I never knew it was the news of Senator Ubah’s death. I was thinking of something else and even asked to speak with him not knowing that it was about his demise.
“If you could remember, I didn’t conclude the conversation with you. I threw away the phone because of the shock. We never thought Senator Ubah would die in the next 40 years, but who are we to question God?”
