Former Deputy Senate President, Senator Ibrahim Mantu, is dead. He died early today (Tuesday) in Abuja. He was aged 74.

Mantu, who hailed from Gindiri, in Mangu Local Government Area of Plateau State, was an influential political figure in Nigeria for several years.
Born on February 16, 1947, the late politician began his political career with the defunct National Party of Nigeria (NPN).
During the aborted Third Republic, he vied for the Chairmanship of the National Republican Convention (NRC), one of the two registered political parties. During the Late General Sani Abacha transition programme, Mantu was a chieftain of the United Nigeria Congress Party (UNCP).
In the build up to the present democratic dispensation, Mantu joined the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), on which platform he won election to represent Plateau Central Senatorial District in the National Assembly in 1999. He served as Chairman of the Senate Committee on Information before emerging as the Deputy Senate President in 2001.
