Senate Minority Leader, Enyinnaya Abaribe, says Nigeria keeps losing good people but that wicked ones do not want to die.
He spoke on Wednesday at a valedictory session held in honour of late Senator Ignatius Longjan who represented Plateau South.
Abaribe described Longjan, who died on February 10 in Abuja, as a “peacebuilder and a very good person.”
He added: “A few days ago we were here doing this same thing, a valedictory for one of our colleagues. The question we always ask, Mr President is, why are we losing the good ones?
“All the wicked people are in this country, they don’t die. It is the good ones that go. And so today, we commiserate with the wife and children and the people that he represents and of course the diplomatic community from where he came and Nigerians in general.”
Senator Gabriel Suswam implored Nigerians to pray for God to take away the bad people from the country.
“The two major religions should pray so that the Almighty God does not continue to take the good people away. Let Him be taking the bad ones as well,” he said.
