Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>A Senatorial aspirant for Abia Central district at the recently-concluded National Assembly primary elections of the All Progressive Congress (APC) in Abia State, Hon Kelvin Ugboajah, has been confirmed dead.<\/p>\n

The prominent Abia politician passed on in the early hours of Saturday, July 11, 2022, after an undisclosed illness.<\/p>\n

His death was made known in an official statement released on Tuesday by the Late Ugboajah\u2019s family of Ariam Usaka Oboro clan in Ikwuano Local Government Area of the State.<\/p>\n

DAILY POST recalls that the late Hon Kelvin Ugboajah, was a lawyer, and had served twice as Abia State Commissioner of Works, and Lands during the administration of former Governor Orji Uzor Kalu.<\/p>\n

The Late Kelvin Ugboajah was a former Executive Chairman of Ikwuano Local Government Area of the State, and also ran for the House of Representatives seat for Ikwuano\/Umuahia federal Constituency seat under the All Progressive Congress, during the 2019 general election.<\/p>\n

Until his sudden demise, he also doubled as a member of the Board, Obafemi Awolowo Federal Teaching Hospital, Osun State.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, reacting to the unfortunate death, the Action Democratic Party House of Representatives Candidate for Ikwuano\/ Umuahia federal constituency seat of Abia State for the 2023 general election, Chief Paul Meregini, expressed sadness.<\/p>\n

In a condolence message issued to newsmen on Tuesday, in Umuahia, the Abia capital, Chief Meregini, who recalled his political relationship with the deceased, described Late Ugboaja as a patriot, genuine political leader and committed democrat whom during his era as the executive chairman of Ikwuano Local Government Area, demonstrated uncommon leadership.<\/p>\n

\u201cUgboajah played inclusive and development-oriented politics which endeared his party members and people to him until his demise. He was a team player who was only concerned in what will benefit the people and was never sentimental to issues concerning the development of Abia, southeast and Nigeria as a whole,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
