Senator representing Anambra South, Ifeanyi Ubah has died while in a medical trip to the United Kingdom.

Ubah, a prominent business mogul from the south-east region is also the Chief Executive Officer of Capital Oil, which he founded in 2001.

Senator Ubah, a stalwart of the All Progressives Congress (APC), according to reports, died in a London hotel, where he had arrived just two days prior.

The news of his death was confirmed through a group chat of senators, who have begun to pay tributes to their late colleague. The Senate and his family have yet to officially comment on the incident.

Ubah’s death comes just days after his campaign council donated N71 million to the APC in Anambra State, in a bid to strengthen the party’s presence in the region. The donation included a personal contribution of N50 million from Ubah himself.

Until his passing, Ubah was a successful businessman and entrepreneur. He also owned The Authority Newspaper, Ifeanyi Ubah F.C. football club, and ran the Ifeanyi Ubah Foundation.

A seasoned politician, Ubah had a storied career, contesting the 2014 Anambra gubernatorial election under the Labour Party and later winning the Anambra South Senatorial elections in 2019 under the Young Progressive Party (YPP).

He later defected to the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC).

Ubah’s political career was marked by resilience and determination. In September 2022, he survived a gruesome attack by gunmen in Enugwu-Ukwu, Anambra State, which claimed the lives of at least five people, including two policemen. His bulletproof vehicle saved his life during the incident.

Ubah was married to Uchenna Ubah, with whom he had five children. He also founded the Ifeanyi Ubah Foundation, a testament to his commitment to giving back to society.
