JUST IN: Sen Ifeanyi Ubah, dies in London hotel room

Senator Ifeanyi Ubah, the Senator representing Anambra South in the National Assembly is dead.

According to reports, Ubah took his last breath two days ago, shortly after arriving at his London hotel room, in the United Kingdom.

Up until his death, Senator Uba was a renowned member of the ruling party, the All progressives Congress (APC).

This tragic news was confirmed in a group chat among senators, who have begun expressing their condolences.

It could be recalled that, Ubah’s campaign council recently made headlines by contributing N71 million to the APC in Anambra State, including N50 million from Ubah himself. This donation was intended to strengthen the party’s position in the region.

The Nnewi-born Ubah was first elected into the Senate in 2019 under the platform of the Young Progressives Party.

He made a return to the red chamber in the 2023 general election under the same YPP before dumping the party for APC.

Ubah, who is the owner of Capital Oil, and Chairman of the Senate Committee on Petroleum (Upstream), was also said to have shown interest in next year’s governorship election in Anambra state.

The Senate has not yet issued a statement regarding his passing.
