He was the former National Secretary of the PDP before he emerged as the National Chairman of the party after Umaru Yar’ Adua won the 2007 Presidential election.
He was an indigene of Olokoro in Umuahia South Local Government Area (LGA) of Abia State. His stewardship sparked controversy with statements credited to him, considered uncomplimentary.
Late Ogbulafor was quoted as saying that he didn’t give a damn if Nigeria became a one-party state even as he boasted that the PDP would govern Nigeria for at least 60 years. That dream was, however, aborted when the party lost power in 2015 to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
A top official of the Abia State Government who spoke to the medium, on Saturday morning, on the condition of anonymity confirmed the death when asked. “Yes, he’s dead. He died in Canada,” he said.
