The senator representing Anambra South Senatorial District at the National Assembly, Dr. Ifeanyi Ubah has written his Enugu counterpart representing Enugu north senatorial zone, Sen Chuka Utazi, rejecting his two apology letters.

The senator had earlier written to Sen. Ifeanyi Ubah apologizing for a motion he moved in the senate after reading unverified report from the social media.

The report claimed that Sen. Ubah kicked against senators purchasing official vehicles from Innoson Vehicle Manufacturing (IVM).

Sen. ifeanyi Ubah in his letter described the incident as “unfortunate and sad” as the Sen. Utazi was unable to produce any evidence to prove that the alleged incident to demarket IVM occurred.

He urged Sen. Utazi to apologize and inform Nigerians that he erred by bringing an unverified social media rumour to the floor of the Senate.

Below is a copy of the letter as obtained by News9naija

Most Distinguished Senator Chukwuka Utazi,

I write in response to your letters dated 14th of July 2020 and 16th July, 2020, wherein you tried to clarify the unfortunate and clueless comments you made during the plenary session of the 9th Senate on Tuesday, July 14,2020 over an unverified and fake social media story.

In your letters, you maintained that the Point of Order you raised on the Senate Floor was never directed at me but was made to protect the interests of Igbo businesses.

While I commend your acknowledgement of the importance of promoting the Igbo economy which is my core mantra and one of my utmost priorities in the National Assembly, it is unfortunate that you failed to mention the Senator who committed such an unpardonable act by opposing the procurement of vehicles made by Innoson Vehicle Manufacturing (IVM) Company Limited (a company situated in my constituency, Anambra South) during a Senate transport Committee Meeting which I am neither a member of, nor have I ever attended the said committee meeting.

Distinguished colleague, I find it most unfortunate and sad that till now, you are still unable to produce any evidence to prove that the alleged incident to demarket IVM occurred, or at least, apologize and inform Nigerians that you erred by bringing an unverified social media rumour to the floor of the Senate.

As a distinguished Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, you should have contacted or consulted the leadership of the Senate Committee on Transport or any member of the committee which our highly respected brother and leader from Enugu; Senator (Dr) Chimaroke Nnamani is a member, to find out if such happened; rather you chose to discuss it on the floor of the Senate plenary based on hearsay. This is very appalling and disgraceful!

My dear colleague, how will you feel if I come before the Senate and allege that an Igbo Senator plotted to betray your constituent without being bold enough to name the said Senator?

How will you feel if I come to the floor of the Senate and discuss an unverified fake social media story that has your name attached to it without seeking clarification before raising it at the Senate plenary? It is true you did not mention my name while raising the Point of Order

But I had to respond to you because an obviously sponsored hatchet writer had in the previous days prior to the Tuesday plenary session used a fictitious-pseudo name to trend a fallacious story that I allegedly kicked against the purchase of Innoson vehicles in a transport Senate Committee meeting.

You can imagine the embarrassment that I felt on witnessing your presentation on the floor of the Senate, hence my demand that you mention the name of the perpetrator if indeed such a thing truly occurred before the intervention of our highly respected colleagues who intervened on your behalf and had to abandon plenary and escort me back to my office where they all expressed surprise at your action.

I do not believe that a Distinguished Colleague like you should be used to play petty/gutter politics. I find your action very distasteful and demand that you tender a clear, proper and unreserved apology to my constituents, Ndi Anambra, your home State, the Senate, Ndi Igbo whom I hold so dearly and Nigerians in general for bringing an unverified and fictitious fake social media report to the floor of the Nigerian Senate which by extension, has defamed my reputation and also reduced your office to a tool for petty/gutter politics and fake social media propaganda.

It is also disheartening to think that a renowned anti fake social media advocate of your caliber and person can condescend to purveying the same fake media news you have always kicked against.

However, I am highly consoled by the intervention of our respected colleagues Senator Chimaroke Nnamani, Senator T.A Orji and Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe to forgive you if you tender an unreserved apology which you have failed to adhere to in your past two(2) letters, hence my reply.

Conclusively, it is imperative to note that Ifeanyi Ubah as a name and brand took a lot of hard work and doggedness to be establish over the years and should not be dragged into fake media propaganda.

On this premise, I wish to advise you not to dabble and engage yourself in dirty politics, senseless propaganda and fake media reports while I urge you to do the needful and apologize properly.

Please accept the assurances of my highest regards.

Senator (Dr.) Ifeanyi Ubah
Anambra South Senatorial District

Their problem

I write in response to your letters dated 14th of July 2020 and 16th July, 2020, wherein you tried to clarify the unfortunate and clueless comments you made during the plenary session of the 9th Senate on Tuesday, July 14,2020 over an unverified and fake social media story

And you expect him to apologise....

When jobbers write speeches for supposedly educated touts...
Imagine what a senator read (ie. If indeed he read it) and signed.
No decorium, very bad and elementary diction, full of insults and you expect someone to apologize?
"Honourable" and "distinguished " MUST have other meanings in Naija

Confusion in Igbos camp

Politics drama

Sen Utazi should even retract that apology over Ubah's use of vulgar dictions in the letter.

Two overfed Senators dey fight, Wetin consign me with their wahala

Uba should enjoy the lies ipob known for

NONSENSICAL. They should take that as a priority and not face their constituted work. Disgraceful Senators.
Meanwhile, a new dawn in Anambra.
Vote MC Musiliu Oluomo as Anambra State Governor

Utazi threw a very cheap shot with his false accusation. Ubah has fleets of IVM in his Capital Oil, constituency projects includes products from innoson; motorcycles, Cars, plastic, etc. Utazi should focus on his constituency and tender his apology to the same audience he fed falsehood

That useless UTAZI representing my senatorial zone is a big F.O.OL.

First you made nonsense allegation. Second you go about doing nonsense humiliating apology.
Apology for what exactly??

I stand with ubah the next governor of anambra

If you think all this are not insults, then you don't have old people in your house

Nonsense! Meaningless response...full of contradictions, classless, unnecessarily long, lacks purpose, no direction...it looks like Nkem Owoh (playing Osuofia) responding to Mama Gee in Nolly Wood comedy movie. How are they distinguished?

Una never begin write.
First to stop him papa there.

he should forgive and forget

This is how Biafra will look like, war zone. Them go just dey fight themselves day and night. When the North finaly gives Biafra their independence.

Both Utazi and Uba. All na to use sentiment/ emotions to win election in the 2023 Just like their Abaribe has been using the Biafra political sentiment/ emotions to get their votes since 1999

Imagine the arrogance displayed by senator Uba in this trash he called letter.

If I were sen Utazi, I wouldn't even apologize to him in the first place. Nonsense!
