The Nasarawa State Governor, Abdullahi Sule, has mourned the demise of a former deputy governor of the state, Senator Solomon Ewuga, who died at the age of 70.

The governor described the death of Ewuga, a former FCT minister of state, as a great loss not only to the state but the country at large.

Governor Sule, in a statement he personally signed on Wednesday, said Ewuga’s death is not only a personal loss to his immediate family, the Eggon nation, but the entire state, especially considering his contributions to the political development, peace-building and nurturing of young people.

While commiserating with his family, the Eggon traditional council, associates and indeed all the people of Nasarawa State, the governor lamented the loss of political stalwart, administrator and patriot who dedicated his life to selfless service to the state and nation.

“Our state has lost a consummate grassroots politician, an astute administrator, and a true patriot who dedicated his life to the service of Nasarawa State and Nigeria at large.

“In his dealings as deputy governor, minister and senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, the late Ewuga exemplified commitment, humility and uncommon courage in leadership,” Governor Sule stated.

He prayed for the repose of the soul of the former senator, who represented Nasarawa North Senatorial District during the 7th National Assembly.

Reports about Ewuga’s passage filtered in Tuesday evening.
