It was gathered from Jos, the capital of Plateau State that efforts are underway to immortalize the late Chief Solomon Lar.

Sources revealed that the State Assembly has called on the executive to make sure that  Lar, who ruled the state two times, did not go unremembered.

At the sitting of the house dedicated to remember the pioneer National Chairman of PDP,  the Deputy Speaker, Mrs. Joy Ramnap, PDP from Lantang South, called for the immortalization of Solomon Lar, while Timothy Golu, PDP, Kanke, seconded her. The Speaker of the house, Rt.Hon. Titus Alarms, mandated the Clerk of the Assembly to communicate the decision of the house to the executive.

Ramnap recalled that Lar stood for peace and lived the biblical injunction of “love your enemies.”

“He practically loved his enemies; he was humble and related to the poor the same way he related to the affluent,” she said.

Ramnap noted that the House session dedicated to the late former governor was not one for mourning, as Lar lived above the biblical age of 70 years, having attained 80 years of age, but an occasion to thank God.

Another lawmaker, Ibrahim Baba Hassan, APC-Jos North, said Lar shunned materialism in his life time and that he had no house of his own in Abuja and called on other politicians to emulate his selflessness.

Ponmak Rindap (PDP-Lantang North) said that Lar, in spite of his towering political stature, never stepped on any toe, big or small in his life time.

“He used to tell us, I have nothing and I will live nothing for my children if I die, I will leave only a good name,” he said.
