Plateau APC spokesperson, Sylvanus’ death, tremendous loss – Sen Plang

The chairman of the Senate Committee on Labour, Employment, and Productivity and Vice Chairman of Federal Character, Senator Diket Plang, has described the death of the Plateau State Publicity Secretary of the All Progressive Congress (APC), Mr Slyvanus Namang, as a tremendous loss to the APC family and called for a thorough investigation.

In a statement, Senator Plang, who expressed deep shock over the sad incident that occurred on Saturday, said the way and manner in which the dastardly act was carried out remained a surprise to a lot of people considering the efforts to tame insecurity in the state.

He stated that the late Namang will be remembered for his forthrightness and dedication to party-related issues, adding that the role he played in the last general elections and the way he handled the information aspect as a spokesman for the party depicted that he was a thoroughbred professional in information management.

“Apart from being a spokesman for the party, he was one-time Commissioner of Information in Plateau State, General Manager, Plateau State Publishing Corporation, General Manager, FRCN FM Radio Lafia Nassarawa State, Chief Press Secretary to the late Deputy Senate President, Senator Ibrahim Mantu. He showcases his dedication to public service throughout his career. Namang was a professional journalist with long-standing experience.

“I therefore offer my deepest condolences and sympathy to the families of Hon. Slyvanus Namang and our esteemed party members and officials in the state.

‘This is devastating and a loss to the political class. I pray that God, in His infinite mercies, grants him eternal rest and his family the fortitude to bear the loss.”

He therefore called on the security agencies to go after the perpetrators of the dastardly act and bring them to book.
