Bitrus Kaze, the highly respected ex-Lawmaker who represented Jos-South/Jos East in the 6th  and 7th Assemblies has hailed Governor for owning up and apologising for his earlier comments about the killings in Benue state.

Expressing his thoughts, the ex-lawmaker said “that a Nigerian politician of Governor Lalong’s ranking can muster the courage to own up and publicly apologize to me is exceptional, exemplary and highly commendable. He earned my respect”.

Already, many citizens have been pouring encomiums on the governor for rare gesture of owning up and apologising –saying it is uncommon for Nigerian politicians (particularly at the exalted position of Governor) to eat the humble pie and say they were wrong.

Worthy of pointing out is the fact that, Hon Bitrus Kaze is of the PDP party while, governor Lalong is of the APC –which suggests that our democracy is maturing –with such bi-partisan comments.
