Nigerian Senator, Ben Uwajumogu has died.

Mr Uwajumogu died on Wednesday morning in Abuja after falling ill for several weeks, according to his colleague Elisha Abbo. He was 51.

“I can confirm that my colleague and brother Ben Uwajumogu has left us to be with the Lord,” Mr Abbo told PREMIUM TIMES Wednesday afternoon. “It calls for sober reflection.”

“It is a clear indication that this world is like market and when you come you will go back home. Ben has come to the market he has behaved well and gone back to account for his good deeds on earth,” said Mr Abbo, a senator from Adamawa State. “Our thoughts and prayers are with his family,” he added.

Mr Uwajumogu was a former Speaker of the Imo State House of Assembly, and presently a member of the ruling All Progressives Congress representing Imo North Senatorial District.

He was initially treated in the United Arab Emirates for his protracted illness, but recently returned to Abuja after showing signs of recovery, according to a source familiar with his situation.

The Senate has yet to formally announce the development, but a senior aide to Senate President Ahmed Lawan told PREMIUM TIMES his principal had been informed of the development and a formal statement would be issued soon.

Until his death, Uwajumogu was the senate committee chairman on employment, labour and productivity.

Sad.may his soul find rest if true. Wish our politicians can understand the true meaning of life and service.

Life is nothing.


Live every day like it's gonna be your last.


Once you close eyes, that's the end of it.

Too bad..after all the struggles

If only these fellas that appropriate #37B for mere renovation of the NASS will have a genuine sober reflection based on this demise of their colleague that "vanity upon vanity, all is vanity" according to King Solomon.

This is sad.
