A former National Chairman of the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP), Prince Vincent Ogbulafor, is dead.
He reportedly died on Thursday night, according to family sources who said: “Dede Ukwu, Hon. Vin. Ogbulafor passed on last night. He died in Canada.”
The Umuahia prince, famous for claiming that the now main opposition would be in power for 60 years, was aged 73.
”Chief Vincent Ogbulafor (KSM) died in the early hours of today (Friday) in Canada at 73. The Royal Family of Ogbulafor will announce a date for the burial ceremonies, which will most likely take place next year,” Chief Goddy Uwazurike, a lawyer and close associate of the deceased said.
”He was the head of the family. Eternal rest grant unto him O Lord. Let perpetual light shine on him,” Uwazurike said.
Ogbulafor became the PDP National Chairman on March 8, 2008 and started his tenure on a controversial note with his comments, saying he did not worry if Nigeria became a one-party State.
