“To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under heaven”
“time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted” – Ecclesiastes 3:1&2

Rep. Dr. Simon Mwadkwon, the Member representing Barkin Ladi/Riyom Federal Constituency received with rude shock the demise of the immediate past Deputy Governor and Senator representing the good people of Plateau Southern Zone.

The Federal Lawmaker described Late Sen. Longjan as a humble and easy going Elder statesman of great value, goodwill and integrity whose wealth of experience and fatherly role will be greatly missed not only in his Senatorial Zone, Plateau State but Nation at large.

He said his demise is a colossal and National Loss.

“His demise has created a national and fatherly vacuum” Dr. Mwadkwon said.

Dr. Simon Mwadkwon recall with admiration during their induction as Members of 9th National Assembly, how Late Sen. Longjan related and treated them wonderfully and fairly irrespective of party affiliations, a disposition that can best be described as fatherly and unifying. His demise is a big blow to those who had reason to come across him while alive.

Rep. Mwadkwon said Late Senator Longjan served Nigeria and Plateau State meritoriously and diligently. Baba Longjan has ran his earthly race successfully and reached the finish line.

While praying for the repose of his soul, Rep. Simon Mwadkwon prayed God to give his family the fortitude to bear the irreparable and irreplaceable loss.

Late Sen. Ignatius Longjan was a career Diplomat who after retirement served Plateau State diligently from 2007 to 2015 as Chief of Staff and Deputy Governor where his immense contributions to the State and humanity were well felt.

Before his demise, he was the Senator Plateau Southern Zone.

Adieu His Excellency, Baba Sen. Ignatius Datong Longjan.
