File: Former Governor of Plateau State and elder statesman, Jonah David Jang
A former Governor of Plateau State and elder statesman, Jonah David Jang, has congratulated the Peoples Democratic Party for the “smooth conduct” of its primary elections across Nigeria, including Plateau State, describing the exercise as a demonstration of the party’s commitment to democracy.
In a statement issued on Friday by his media consultant, Clinton Garuba, Jang said the Plateau PDP primary that produced Sunday Garba Biggs as governorship flagbearer for the 2027 election was “a testament to the top-level organisation, coordination and unity within the PDP.”
“There is no doubt, the difference in approach, planning and execution as witnessed during the primary elections of the PDP and those of the other political parties was like night and day,” Jang stated.
He contrasted the PDP process with what he described as “imposition and impunity, where the people’s wishes are jettisoned at the altar of parochial interests, and results merely written in hotel rooms despite ‘elections’ holding on the fields.”
