In February 2008, after Senator Nuhu Aliyu had first stated that some members of the Senate were fraudsters and had then apologized and withdrawn his allegation, as Chairman of the House Committee on Media and Publicity, Eziuche Ubani said the House would not accept the apology and called on Aliyu to name names. Speaking as an individual in September 2008, Ubani said there was a complete system collapse in Nigeria, and the administration was losing momentum to revitalize the system.

In September 2009, as chairman of the House Committee on Climate Change, Eziuche Ubani said he was more concerned about the Nigerian government’s actions than what was happening at the global level on climate change, and warned that Nigeria could be plagued by many disasters if it did not act fast. In October 2009, Eziuche Ubani said Nigeria could not continue to depend on crude oil because America was looking for other sources of energy generation, and Western Europe may emulate the USA. He said “… it is high time we stop depending on oil money if we want to be serious”.
