SENATOR IFEANYI Ubah, representing Anambra South district in the National Assembly, has died.
He passed away in the United Kingdom (UK) during a surgical operation.
Ubah had traveled to the UK two days before his death.
He was 52 years old and would have turned 53 on September 3.
Ubah, a prominent politician and businessman, was the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Capital Oil.
He defected from the Young Progressives Party (YPP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC) last year.
