Following his victory at the National Assembly Election Petition Tribunal sitting in Jos, Plateau State, which on Tuesday upheld the election of Senator Ignatius Longjan of the All Progressives Congress, APC,representing Plateau South, thesenator has vowed to provide quality legislation to the people of the zone.
Speaking to newsmen in Jos,Longjang said his senatorial zone was backward in so many things, promising to work to provide dividends of democracy to the people.
Longjang said he would not take for granted the decision of the people of his constituency to elect him in the 2019 elections, disclosing that he had devised a mechanism to ensure that the dividends of democracy were delivered to members of his constituency.
“The decision of my people to elect me to represent them at the red chamber will never be taken for granted, as I have devised a mechanism to implement my promises to them,” he said.
The senator condemned in strong terms the attacks on Nigerians and their businesses in South Africa, saying it betrayed the long-standing relationship between Nigeria and Southern African country, which he said was strengthened by the frontline role played by Nigeria in the apartheid struggle.
“We appeal to our authorities to accommodate the returnees from South Africa. President Muhammadu Buhari is taking the right step in ensuring the safety of our people especially in sending an envoy to South Africa,” the senator concluded.
