Former National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Vincent Ogbulafor has passed on, 9news Nigeria gathered.
Ogbulafor died on Thursday in Canada at the age of 73 years. Confirming his death, a family member who wished to be anonymous said Ogbulafor died of an undisclosed illness.
The deceased was the PDP’s first National Secretary. He hails from Olokoro in Umuahia South Local Government of Abia State. Sponsored Ogbulafor, who was born on May 24, 1949, was the first PDP’s National Secretary before he later became the party’s National Chairman.
The deceased was, however, forced to resign his position after he fell out with some top PDP chieftains. Ogbulafor became PDP national chairman on March 8, 2008 and started his tenure on a controversial note with his comments in which he sounded magisterial and that he did not care if Nigeria became a one-party state. He was succeeded as national chairman by the former governor of Enugu State, Dr. Okwesilieze Nwodo.
