A Labour Party governorship aspirant in the forthcoming governorship primary holding in Imo State, Chief Humphrey Anumudu, has been found dead in his house.
Anumudu, CEO of Globe Motors, was reported dead in his Lagos home after returning from a meeting at the LP secretariat in Abuja.
A highly competent family source who spoke on the condition of anonymity confirmed the death saying the auto merchant died on Friday evening in Lagos, adding that his death came as a rude shock.
The deceased was a native of Mbieri Ancient Kingdom in Mbaitoli Local Government Area of Imo State.
Until his death, Anumudu was a multi-billionaire businessman-cum-politician who had been contesting the governorship seat of the state since 1998.
He was said to be the winner of the Peoples Democratic Party governorship primary in the state in 1998 before the ticket was ceded to Achike Udenwa who went on to rule the state between 1999 and 2007.
Since then, he had been contesting for the number one seat of the state.
In 2019, he was the Zenith Labour party governorship candidate.
He was also a respected legal luminary.(agency)/SHARE THIS
