FORMER PDP NATIONAL CHAIRMAN HAS PASSED

Vincent Ogbulafor, the former National Chairman of the PDP, has died

Ogbulafor died on Thursday at the age of 73 in Canada.

A family member who wished to remain anonymous confirmed his death, saying Ogbulafor died of an undisclosed illness.

The deceased was the first National Secretary of the PDP.

He is from Olokoro in Abia State's Umuahia South Local Government.

Ogbulafor, who was born on May 24, 1949, served as the PDP's first National Secretary before becoming the party's National Chairman.

The deceased, however, was forced to resign his position after a disagreement with some top PDP officials.

While serving as a minister, he was accused of financial irresponsibility.

Attempts to reach the PDP's National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, at the time of filing this report were futile because he did not pick up calls or respond to a text message sent to him.
