The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila, has described the death of former Deputy President of the Senate, Ibrahim Mantu, as a sad development.
Gbajabiamila, in a statement issued Tuesday by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr. Lanre Lasisi, said Mantu contributed immensely to the growth and development of the Nigerian Legislature.
He noted that Mantu, who served as the Deputy President of the Senate in the 5th Assembly, was one Nigerian that would be remembered for his democratic credentials.
Gbajabiamila condoled with the government and people of Plateau State, especially the Mantu family, over the loss.
