THE senator representing Anambra South Senatorial District in the National Assembly, Ifeanyi Ubah is dead.
The All Progressives Congress (APC) senator reportedly died in a hotel in London, the United Kingdom. He had left for London two days ago.
His death was also confirmed on a group chat of senators who had started to pour in tributes.
Eighteen-Eleven Media reports that just a few days ago, his campaign council donated a total of N71 million to the APC in Anambra State, bolstering the party’s presence and strength in the region.
The donation, which includes N50 million from Senator Ubah himself, was part of his pledge to support the party and enhance its effectiveness in the state.
Senate spokesperson, Yemi Adaramodu, confirmed his death on Saturday, however, he did not provide details surrounding Ubah’s death.
Ubah, who was a member of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) at the time of his death, was the Chief Executive Officer of Capital Oil. He was first elected to the Senate in 2019 under the platform of the Young Progressives Party (YPP) and was re-elected in 2023. He later defected to the APC.
In September 2022, Ubah narrowly escaped an assassination attempt when his convoy was attacked by gunmen in Enugwu-Ukwu, Anambra State. The attack resulted in the deaths of at least five people, including two policemen. Ubah survived the attack due to the bulletproof vehicle he was riding in.
