The Nigerian political landscape was thrown into mourning on Saturday with the sudden passing of Senator Ifeanyi Ubah, representing Anambra South in the National Assembly.
According to reports, Ubah, who was also the CEO of Capital Oil, died in a London hotel, just weeks shy of his 53rd birthday.
Senate spokesperson, Yemi Adaramodu, confirmed the tragic news to our correspondent, leaving many in shock and disbelief. Ubah’s death comes as a devastating blow, especially given his narrow escape from an assassination attempt in September 2022, when his convoy was attacked by gunmen in Anambra State.
Ubah, who was re-elected into the 10th Senate under the Young Peoples Party, had recently defected to the All Progressive Congress. His demise has sent ripples through the political sphere, with tributes pouring in from colleagues and well-wishers. As the nation mourns the loss of this vibrant leader, memories of his contributions to the Senate and his business acumen will be deeply missed.
