His words “Ebubechukukwu Uzo Nnewi
Odenjiji Neni
Ikemba Ndigbo
“You came
You saw
You impacted.
A man with kind heart.
I don’t know how to mourn you.”
“We spoke while you were leaving Abuja to airport en route to London.
“You sent me a Whatsapp chat on the evening of 26th July. And on 27th I got a call that shattered me and left me confused. I kept asking the caller, how, how, how, how?

“Up till now, I still can’t put myself together to resolve certain questions building up in my head.
I have many top political leaders whom I am quite close to. So many of them. But you were exceptional.”
“You treated me like a friend and a brother.”
Advertorial
“From the day I agreed to be your political ally, you never disappointed me. You rescued me when I was violently taken into hostage. You came through for me and dared my captors.
When a former governor called you and said, “I heard Eneh is your boy, warn him.” Your response was, “Eneh is not my boy, he is my friend.”
And that’s how you treated me. Sometimes I ask if I deserve the level of regard you accorded me.
Advertorial
“You began to trust me after the 2019 general elections. God used me and two other persons (names withheld) to block the rigging plan of your opponent during the collation of your result.
“After your declaration, we came to Nnewi to see you and you openly told your visitors in your sitting room that God used Eneh, and the two other persons to make you a senator.”
Advertorial
“From that day, we became very close politically. You always consult me whenever you wish to take any major political step.
During the 2023 general elections in far away Enugu, I sought for your help and you obliged me.”
“Some days back, something happened politically that would aid your gubernatorial aspiration. You called me and we deliberated on it. You made further enquiries and it happened that you must rush to Abuja to intervene quickly.”
Advertorial
“You suspended your engagements in southeast. Ordered a private jet to come to east to pick us. We flew to Abuja and I was impressed with your swiftness to the issue that took us to Abuja.”
“We boarded the same jet back to east the same day.”
Your 2025 governorship victory was certain. You were heading for victory. All structures were collapsing into your movement. It was a matter of time.
Advertorial
“You were determined, focused, strategic and cruising with overwhelming support. And suddenly, death struck.
“We can not question God. You are one leader that had no rest. You were always busy with so many engagements just to help humanity and put smiles on the faces of all those around you.”
You are one leader who finds joy in lifting people out of poverty . You lifted many and made millionaires and billionaires. You created leaders.
Your death left so many stranded. You left too early.
May your soul find a place in the bosom of the Lord.
Distinguished Senator Ifeanyi Ubah rest on till we meet to part no more.
Adieu My Strength,” Eneh wrote.
