Capital Oil boss Senator Ifeanyi Ubah slumps, dies in London hotel
Nigerian politician and businessman Ifeanyi Ubah has died.
Mr Ubah suffered slumps after suffering what family sources described to Peoples Gazette as cardiac arrest and passed away in London yesterday. He was 52.
Family members, including Mr Ubah’s wife, have begun mourning after receiving information that their stalwart died in a hotel in the United Kingdom’s capital, The Gazette learnt shortly after Sahara Reporters first broke the news on Saturday morning.
Mr Ubah was for years the CEO of downstream oil marketer Capital Oil.
In 2014, Mr Ubah ran for governor of Anambra under the Labour Party but lost. He then moved to the Young Progressive Party (YPP), winning a Senate seat in both 2019 and 2023.
Later in 2023, Mr Ubah defected to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). He explained then that his joining the APC was to ensure the South-East aligns with the government at the centre.
He served as a member of the Nigerian Senate until his death.
