The Senator representing Plateau South Senatorial District in the
National Assembly, Ignatius DantongLongjan has described as laughable the rumor
making rounds that his being at the Senate was mainly to hold brief for the
executive Governor of Plateau state, Rt. Hon. Simon BakoLalong.
Gov. Lalong, who is from the same senatorial zone with Longjan got
the mandate of the people of the state in February general elections to pilot
the affairs of the state for the next four years. However, rumours have it that
Ajikamai born politician had been nursing the interest of taking a shot at the
Senate seat. Consequently, it is said that the governor had a perfect
understanding with Longjan for the latter to hold brief for him from 2019 to
2023.
However, responding to this allegation during a chat with some
journalists in Jos on Wednesday, Sen. Longjan described the rumor as childish,
petty and laughable. " Yes, I also heard of this story but is it that
easy? What would eventually be the basis for that? Would it be that I am longer
qualified for the position or that my
performance is below average and Lalong would performed better than I have
done? Do you think it's that easy to take over from another person? When the
time comes, we will know how to cross the river". He said.
