Former Senate Majority Leader, Jonathan Zwingina, has reportedly passed away at the age of 70. While there is no official confirmation from his family, reliable sources disclosed that the veteran politician from Adamawa State died on Wednesday, October 2, in Abuja.
Zwingina’s death is seen as a significant loss to the people of Nungurala, Adamawa State, and Nigeria. A well-respected figure in the political landscape, Zwingina served two terms as a senator representing the Adamawa Southern Senatorial District from 1999 to 2007.
Zwingina was a founding member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) before switching allegiance to the All Progressives Congress (APC) in later years. The seasoned politician recently celebrated his 70th birthday in August 2024, marking what would now be his final milestone.
A source close to the family described his passing as a devastating blow to the community and nation, hailing his contributions to national development during his years in public service.
