Power is Temporary, Ex-governor Jang Tells Politicians
Yemi Kosoko in Jos
Former Plateau State governor, Senator Jonah Jang, yesterday delivered a sobering message to Nigeria’s political class and citizens, warning that political power is temporary and that only character, faith and service to humanity endure.
Jang spoke in Jos, Plateau State, during the public presentation of his autobiography, “From Airman to Politics,” held as part of activities marking his 80th birthday celebration.
Reflecting on eight decades of life, military service and politics, the former governor said time had taught him that the pursuit of power, fame and wealth should never overshadow integrity and one’s relationship with God.
