He was a politician and businessman engaged in the oil and gas sector, as well as the media.
Senator Ubah was very active in the politics of Anambra State having contested the governorship election in the state for a record of three times.
There was indication also that the late senator was preparing to run for the office of the governor of the state on the platform of the APC coming up next year.
Perhaps, in pursuit of this new dream, he defected from the YPP, a platform he was elected Senator twice and joined the APC few months after his re-election into the 10th Senate.
Senator Ubah since his defection into APC has been very visible and was almost the face of the party’s resurgence in Ananbra State.
His death came some few months after an assassination attempt was made on his life at Nkwo Enugu-Ukwu, Njikoka Local Government Area where his convoy was attacked and his SUV riddled with bullets, resulting to the death of some of his aides.
Recently, there have been concerns over the sudden physical change in the appearance of the once chubby senator, casting doubts over his health condition as he suddenly became slim.
