Enyinnaya Abaribe,
senate minority leader, says the wicked people in the country do not want to
die but Nigeria keeps losing the good ones.
Abaribe said this on
Wednesday at a valedictory session held in honour of the late Ignatius Longjan,
senator who represented Plateau south.
Longjan died on
February 10 in Abuja. He was 75.
The minority leader
described Longjan as a “peace builder and a very good person.”
“A few days ago we
were here doing this same thing, a valedictory for one of our colleagues. The
question we always ask, Mr President is, why are we losing the good ones?” he
asked.
“All the wicked
people are in this country, they don’t die. It is the good ones that go. And so
today, we commiserate with the wife and children and the people that he
represents and of course the diplomatic community from where he came and
Nigerians in general.”
On his part, Gabriel
Suswam, senator representing Benue north-east, asked Nigerians to pray for God
to take away the bad people from the country.
“The two major
religions should pray so that the Almighty God does not continue to take the
good people away. Let Him be taking the bad ones as well,” he said.
“Senator Longjan was
a consummate gentleman. It is very sad he has gone to meet our Lord.
“But we should pray
seriously that under no circumstances until the end of the next three years
that we should not come here to pay tribute again because it is not right that
our people have sent us to come and speak on their behalf and every time we are
here paying tributes that somebody has left.”
