Son Shares Details Of Former Nigerian Senator’s Death Following Prayer SessionPolitical figures, family members, and friends gathered on Wednesday at the First Baptist Church in Garki, Abuja, to honor the late Senator Jonathan Zwingina, who passed away on October 3, shortly after celebrating his 70th birthday. The commendation service served as a moment for dignitaries and loved ones to reflect on Zwingina’s impactful life and his significant contributions to Nigeria’s political landscape.

In an emotional tribute, Zwingina’s first son, Kabrh, shared a poignant account of his father’s final moments. “I want to share a testimony about his last moments,” Kabrh recounted. “I called Reverend Tom, and we met at the hospital. We sensed something was wrong, so Reverend Tom led us in prayers of salvation and forgiveness. Barely 20 seconds later, my dad passed.”

Former Minister of Information, Professor Jerry Gana, described Zwingina as a visionary leader of great integrity. “This is a shocking departure,” Gana noted, reflecting on Zwingina’s recent birthday celebration. “I spoke that day, not knowing it would be our last time celebrating together. Senator Zwingina lived a life of tremendous impact. He was always ahead of his peers with his visionary thinking and leadership.”

Gana highlighted Zwingina’s crucial role in Nigeria’s political development, especially during the early years of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). “He was a leader in both thought and action,” Gana emphasized, praising Zwingina’s commitment to excellence.

Former Senate President Ken Nnamani also paid tribute, commending Zwingina’s intellectual abilities and photographic memory, which earned him the nickname “encyclopedia” in the Senate. “He was like the Ronaldo or Messi of Constitutional Amendments debates,” Nnamani joked, reflecting on Zwingina’s exceptional recall and debate skills. “His passing is a significant loss to Adamawa State and the entire country.”

Former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha, delivered a heartfelt tribute, recounting their long-standing friendship. “We met during our university days, and our bond has only grown stronger,” he said. “Zwingina was a towering figure in Adamawa State politics. His wisdom and capacity will leave a lasting legacy for future generations.”

Former Plateau State Governor Jonah Jang reminisced about their 40-year relationship, recalling Zwingina’s role as the Director-General of Mass Mobilization for Self-Reliance during Jang’s tenure as Military Governor of Gongola State. “He was a hardworking and intelligent man who made an indelible mark,” Jang remarked.

The service attracted a notable crowd of political leaders and close associates, including former Minister of State for Health Honorable Dr. Aliyu Hong, former SGF Babachir Lawal, former Senate President David Mark, and former Speaker of the Adamawa State House of Assembly, Rt. Honourable James Barka, among others.

The heartfelt tributes underscored the deep respect and admiration Senator Jonathan Zwingina commanded throughout his life—not only as a political figure but as a principled man whose legacy will continue to inspire future generations.
