Reacting to his colleague’s death, Elisha Abbo (Adamawa), said the news of the senator’s came as a shock to the lawmakers.
“I can confirm that my colleague and brother Ben Uwajumogu has left us to be with the Lord. It calls for sober reflection,” Abbo said.
“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. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family,” he said.
A returning senator at the upper chamber, Uwajumogu was a former speaker of the Imo State House of Assembly.
He was born 52 years ago into the famous Uwajumogu family of Umuihi in Ihitte/Uboma LGA of Imo State.
His father was a very successful business merchant. The affluence of his father did not make him lose sight from the path of self-struggle.
