The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP on Tuesday rescheduled its planned National Working Committee, NWC meeting in honour of the late Deputy President of the Senate, Ibrahim Mantu, who died in Abuja, in the early hours of the day.

This was contained in a statement titled, “PDP Mourns Ex-Deputy Senate President, Mantu…NWC reschedules today’s meeting in his honour…To meet tomorrow,” signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan.

He said, “The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is heartbroken over the death of one of its leading elders, a member of its Board of Trustees and former Deputy President of the Senate, Senator Ibrahim Mantu.

“Our party is indeed devastated and inconsolable over this huge tragedy which has befallen not only the PDP but our entire nation, Nigeria, at large.

“Senator Mantu was a highly resourceful leader, an excellent lawmaker, exemplary democrat and dazzling political mobiliser; a very humble and detribalized statesman, who spent his life in innumerable sacrifices towards the unity, stability and economic development of our dear fatherland.

“The PDP recalls the incalculable contributions by Senator Mantu, who brought his love for the nation as well as his skills to bear in the Senate where he served as Chairman, Senate Committee on Information as well as the Deputy Senate President.“

The party said the late Deputy Senate President, played key roles in stabilizing the Senate for greater legislative productivity.

The opposition party said he would be sorely missed. It prayed God to grant the family he left behind the fortitude to bear his loss.
