AWKA, Anambra – Senator representing Anambra Senatorial District, Senator Ifeanyi Ubah on Saturday wept like a baby as his assassinated personal aide Mr Ikechukwu Obum was buried in Mbaukwu, Awka South, Anambra State.
Ubah who wept uncontrollably at the grave side , was assisted by Senator Uche Ekwunife and other top politicans in the state from various political party at the burial. The traumatized Ubah could not talk at the burial but was busy cleaning tears from his eyes.
Speaking at the burial, the senator repressing Anambra Central District Iyom Uche Ekwunife described the attack on her colleague, Senator Ifeanyi Ubah as an assassination attempt on his life.
According to her, the attack on Ubah and killing of his aides by gunmen last month was not the Anambra state that people know.
“I lack words to express how I feel about what happened and I also lack words to console my colleague Senator Ifeanyi Ubah over the killing of two of his trusted staff but God says in everything we should give him thanks .
“Nobody knows what happened and how it happened, but this is not the Anambra of our dream and this is not the Anambra we know where people come out and take away lives that they do not have and they cannot give.
“I thank God for saving the life of Ifeanyi Ubah because it would have been the other way round, but God said no, but for me I call it assassination attempt on his life and nothing more.
” If you look at the level of destruction of the vehicle he was riding on you will know that it was purely an assassination attempt on his life. But God saved him because of who he is, that is why I came to support him and sympathize with him in this time of grief and I ask him to take it easy and take heart.
“God knows and decides the fate of men but most importantly I want to console the Obum family, I know them too well and they are good people and only God knows while He took his life”, she said
