The senator representing Anambara South Senatorial District at the Senate, Dr Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah has suspended activities leading to his 51st birthday celebration coming up on the 3rd of September 2022. In a statement released by the senator, he said" My dear family, supporters, well-wishers and friends alike, As we draw closer to my 51st birthday anniversary, I wish to register my appreciation and convey my heartfelt gratitude to you all once again for your support and steadfastness in the cause of my journey so far."


He stressed that September 3, 2022 which is his 51st  birthday anniversary is a day he looks forward to. He maintained that " it is with the deepest sense of l responsibility that I humbly implore my family, friends, well wishers and supporters to commemorate my 51st birthday by saying a prayer for me and our beloved State; Anambra due to the security crisis ravaging the state."


"My decision to opt for a very quiet and reflective birthday anniversary has become exigent given the prevailing mood of the state which does not call for celebration but a moment of solemn reflections and prayers. I will also want to use this period of reflection to pay respect to those who in one way or the other have fallen victims or lost beloved members of their family and friends to the ravaging insecurity."


Continuing, he said that "Birthdays are great opportunities for not only celebration but also reflection. While appreciating my family, friends and well wishers for their good intentions and elaborate celebration plans, it is pertinent to state that my 51st birthday celebration would be devoid of any fanfare or celebration. I am therefore requesting for a very quiet, reflective and prayerful anniversary."


He therefore commended the governor of Anambara state, Prof Charles Soludo, and pledged to partner with the Anambra State Government in their proactive efforts to curb the security menace in the state. "we must not let the crippling fear that has gained momentum as a result of the security challenges make us lose hope. Let us Keep praying for Anambra State and keep trusting in God while supporting the State Government.  In the end, we shall overcome!"


Conclusively, he gave God all the glory for adding another year to his life and prayed for better years ahead in the service of the Almighty God and humanity.
