The senator representing Plateau South Senatorial District in the National Assembly, Senator Ignatius Longjan, is dead.
Aged 75, he died at a Turkish hospital in Abuja on Sunday.
His death came about two months after the death of Senator Benjamin Uwajumogu who represented Imo North Senatorial District in the National Assembly.
Longjan was said to have been indisposed for some weeks.
Meanwhile, Senate President Ahmad Lawan has commiserated with the family of Senator Longjan.
In a statement issued by his media aide, Ola Awoniyi, Lawan also condoled with the government and people of Plateau State over the sad loss.
The Senate President acknowledged the contributions of Senator Longjan both at the state and national levels as former Chairman of the Board of Governors of the National Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies, NIPSS, Kuru; former Chief of Staff at the Government House in Jos and Plateau State Deputy Governor between 2011 and 2019.
Lawan said the Senate would miss Longjan who was Vice Chairman of the Committee on Culture and Tourism as well as the Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs.
The Senate President prayed to God to grant those he left behind the fortitude to bear the great loss.
