Abuja (Sundiata Post) – The ruling All Progressives Congress has expressed sadness over the death of Senator Ignatius Longjan.
The party in a statement, signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Mallam Lanre Issa-Onilu, extended its condolences to Senator Longjan’s immediate family, constituents, the National Assembly, the government and entire people of Plateau State.
Senator Longjan who died on Sunday evening was the Vice Chairman, Senate Committee on Culture and Tourism and a former Deputy Governor of Plateau State.
The late Senator was a grassroots politician and progressive federal lawmaker who advocated for a smooth working relationship between the executive and legislature as a way of ensuring good governance and proper initiation and implementation of policies that impact positively on the people.
According to the statement, the late Senator Longjan was a loyal party man who championed party supremacy over personal interest in all party matters and decisions, as displayed in the emergence of the leadership of the current 9th National Assembly.
The party prayed Almighty God to grant all affected by his death comfort during this time of grief and to also grant the soul of Senator Longjan peaceful rest.
