Sad to learn of the death of our most respected elder statesman, Distinguished Senator Ignatius Longjang. Reputed for his loyalty and humility, the late Distinguished Senator who was senator representing Southern Plateau at the 9th Senate, distinguished himself as an astute diplomat, serving Nigeria in various diplomatic missions abroad. He joined politics after retirement and served as the immediate deputy governor to Jang 2011-2015. He was first chief of staff during the first tenure of Jang where he distinguished himself as a leader of note. His election into the Nigerian senate in 2019 further demonstrated his leadership prowess and until his demise remained one of the most silent power brokers in Plateau state and beyond. Noted for his calmness and gentility, late Senator Longjang proved he was a dependable ally and someone to be trusted and counted upon! A social crusader and a thorough progressive in and out, Plateau State will certainly miss him and the entire country too! Rest on Baba Longjang as he was pupilaly called. Adiue!
