Ogbulafor, who was first National Secretary of the PDP, hailed from Olokoro, in Umuahia South Local Government Area of Abia State.
He was born on May 24, 1949.
The larte Ogbulafor was first PDP’s National Secretary before he later became National Chairman after a bitter national battle between Sen. Sam Egwu and Senator Anyim Pius Anyim.
He was forced to resign as PDP national chairman by the powers that be, when he fell out with them.
Ogbulafor was later charged with an alleged financial recklessness while serving as a minister.
He was reputed to have boasted that the PDP will rule for 40 years which did not come to pass, as the All Progressives Congress (APC) truncated that dream and eventually defeated it in 2015.
