Prince Momoh Would Be Missed – Lawan Pays Tribute

Nigerians continue to react to the death of ace journalist and former minister of information, Prince Tony Momoh, who died on Monday in Abuja.

In a condolence to the family, the All Progressives Congress (APC) where Momoh was a pioneer member; and to the government of Edo State, the President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan, described the deceased as a journalist who made indelible contributions to the development of the profession in Nigeria.

The Senate President said “as Minister of Information, Prince Momoh, through his ‘Letter to my countrymen’ series, professionally and effectively disseminated and managed public information in a manner that was unique to him.

“As chairman of the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), he helped nurture the party to a very strong showing at the polls within months of its formation.

Lawan regretted that the party would miss the former information minister, noting that the “APC will miss this principled political leader particularly in this period that the party is repositioning as a grassroots-based political party and for improved performance of its leadership of our great country.”
