Tragedy struck the Nigerian political scene as Senator Ifeanyi Ubah, representing Anambra South Senatorial District in the National Assembly, passed away in London.
The news of his demise was confirmed during a live broadcast on Fresh FM in Ibadan by Senator Yunus Akintunde of Oyo Central Senatorial District.
Senator Ubah, a prominent oil magnate and politician, had recently defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC) and was gearing up to contest in the forthcoming Anambra State governorship election under the party’s banner. His sudden passing has sent shockwaves across the political landscape.
At the time of reporting, details surrounding the circumstances of his death remain undisclosed. However, sources close to the matter revealed that Senator Ubah had made a substantial financial contribution to the Anambra APC just two days prior to his passing.
This tragic news comes on the heels of the recent demise of Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu, the President-General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, marking a period of mourning for prominent figures in Nigerian politics. The nation is left to grapple with the loss of two influential leaders in quick succession.
