Nigeria’s political landscape converged on Jos, the Plateau State capital, on Saturday as Vice President Kashim Shettima, former President Goodluck Jonathan, top government officials and political leaders gathered to celebrate the 80th birthday of elder statesman and former Plateau State Governor, Jonah David Jang, and witness the unveiling of his autobiography, “From Airman to Politics.”
The high-profile event, which drew dignitaries from across the country, turned into a celebration of Jang’s decades of military, political and public service, with speakers describing him as one of Nigeria’s enduring democratic voices and a symbol of courage, resilience and statesmanship.
Vice President Shettima arrived at the Yakubu Gowon Airport, Jos, where he was received by Plateau State Governor Caleb Mutfwang and other senior federal and state government officials.
Accompanying the Vice President were the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda; Senator Napoleon Bali; and other prominent political figures.
