Former President of the Senate, David Mark has lamented the demise of Lt. General Jeremiah Useni saying “We have lost a hero”.
He described General Useni as a distinguished officer and gentleman of all seasons.
Reacting to the death of Useni in Abuja, Senator Mark said: “I am deeply saddened to learn of the passing of General Useni. My heartfelt condolences to the immediate family, colleagues, government and people of Plateau State and the Armed Forces of Nigeria.
“General Useni was a gallant soldier and a pragmatic politician who served the nation with honour and dignity”.
Senator Mark stated that Useni was a successful military officer and a vibrant politician who gave his all for the good of the nation.
