Political supporters of late Senator Ifeanyi Ubah, under the umbrella of Ifeanyi Ubah Political Family, comprising of ten support groups, have said they’ve not aligned with any politician, political party or political group ahead of either of Anambra governorship election, or Anambra South senatorial by-election, both slated for this year.
In a communique issued at the end of their joint meeting in Awka, Tuesday, the groups, led by former Director General of Ifeanyi Campaign Organization, Chief Vincent Onyeka, clarified that contrary to the news flying in many quarters that late Senator Ifeanyi Ubah’s supporters have taken sides with certain politicians, political parties and political groups, the groups are yet to find and settle with politicians and political parties, whose ideologies are in alignment with what late Senator Ifeanyi Ubah stood for.
The groups include: Ifeanyi Ubah Foundation, Ubahnation Media Center, Ifa Igbo Efuna Solidarity Movement, Senator Ifeanyi Ubah Women, Ifeanyi Ubah Solidarity Movement, Ikemba Women Initiative, among others.
Part of the communique reads, “In the light of the forthcoming November 8, 2025, Anambra governorship election, we wish to inform the general public, our supporters, and political stakeholders that we have not endorsed or thrown our weight behind any aspirant.
“Our political structure is built on the principles of human capacity development, infrastructural transformation, and selfless service to the people. We are carefully scrutinizing the antecedents, leadership qualities, and commitment of various aspirants to the core ideals that Senator Ifeanyi Ubah championed, including good governance, human capacity development, infrastructural transformation, economic empowerment, security and inclusive leadership that prioritizes the welfare of the people.
“We urge the public, especially our loyal supporters, not to be misled by speculations, unfounded claims, or attempts by certain individuals to exploit our revered political structure for their personal interests. We assure you that the leadership of this political movement is working diligently and consulting widely to ensure that when the time comes, we make an informed and strategic decision that aligns with the vision and dreams of our late principal, late Senator Ifeanyi Ubah.”
