The news of their departure has sent shockwaves throughout the football community, leaving us with a deep sense of sorrow and bereavement.
Senator Ifeanyi Ubah, a visionary leader and devoted football administrator, was the epitome of passion, dedication, and selflessness. His unwavering commitment to grassroots football development was inspiring, and his legacy will continue to empower generations of young footballers to come. As the owner of Ifeanyi Ubah FC, he was a shining example of what it means to invest in the future of Nigerian football.
Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu, a revered businessman and football enthusiast, was a pillar of support and encouragement to countless individuals within the football fraternity. His generosity, kindness, and warmth inspired a devoted following, and his influence extended far beyond the football pitch. He was a true patron of the sport, and his love for Nigerian football was evident in everything he did.
The void left by these two icons is immeasurable, and their passing marks the end of an era. However, even in death, their legacies will continue to inspire, motivate, and guide us. We will remember their wisdom, guidance, and passion for the beautiful game, and we will strive to honor their memories by continuing to promote and develop Nigerian football.
We extend our deepest condolences to the families, friends, and associates of Senator Ifeanyi Ubah and Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu. May their souls rest in peace, and may we continue to celebrate their lives and contributions to Nigerian football.”
