Senate President, David Mark, has described the late former Deputy Senate President, John Wash Pam, as an orator and a true democrat, whose contributions during the Second Republic between 1979 and 1983, led immensely in shaping political activities in the country.
He said that the National Assembly would immortalise Wash Pam for his astuteness and belief in the peace and unity of Nigeria.
Mark, who stated this on Thursday during the funeral service of the late Senator at the Government House, Chapel Rayfield, Jos, challenged Nigerians to make their way right with God as death was a sure end for everybody.
The Senate President said, “John Wash Pam is a true son of Nigeria, having wide acceptability across the entire country. The Senate will look at a possible way to immortalise him for the selfless service he rendered.”
