Senator Ubah was said to have departed Nigeria for the UK two days ago.
A close family source said he died in a UK hospital where he went for surgery. He would have been 53 on September 3.
Ubah had defected to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) from the Young Progressives Party (YPP) last year.
He was later re-elected to the 10th Senate under the Young Progressive Party (YPP). The late Senator was billed to seek APC’s ticket ahead of the Anambra State governorship election. A source claimed he made a monetary donation to Anambra APC two days ago.
