Ezekiel Afon, lawmaker representing Pengana constituency in
the Plateau state house of assembly, has died hours after he was re-elected to
represent the constituency.
Bashir Sati, secretary of the All Progressive Congress
(APC) in the state, confirmed the lawmaker’s death to NAN in Jos.
According to Sati, Afon died Sunday afternoon after a brief
illness.
“It is unfortunate that we lost Afon, one of the most
dedicated members of our party and a committed lawmaker just after he was
declared winner to occupy his seat again,” he said.
“Though he has been sick for a while but we received the
news of his demise with rude shock.”
Afon was first elected into the assembly under the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) in 2015, but defected to the ruling APC in 2017.
