Former Plateau State Governor and Senator Jonah Jang has denied reports of his defection from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to either the African Democratic Congress (ADC) or the Social Democratic Party (SDP). In a statement released by his media consultant, Clinton Garuba, Jang described the reports as “fake” and reaffirmed his commitment to the PDP, a party he helped establish.
As a founding member of the PDP, Senator Jang remains a key figure in the party, which has been experiencing internal crises. Despite the challenges, Jang believes that the ongoing court cases will resolve the issues and restore the party to its former glory. He is confident that the PDP will overcome its current difficulties and reclaim its position as a leading political force in Nigeria.
The denial of Jang’s defection comes at a time when the PDP is facing significant internal conflicts, which have led to speculation about the party’s future. However, Jang’s statement suggests that he remains committed to the party and is optimistic about its prospects. His decision to stay with the PDP is seen as a significant development, given his influence and experience in Nigerian politics.
The PDP has been a major player in Nigerian politics since its inception, and Jang’s continued membership is a boost to the party’s morale. As the party navigates its current challenges, Jang’s commitment to the PDP is likely to be closely watched by political observers and analysts. The outcome of the ongoing court cases and the party’s ability to resolve its internal conflicts will be crucial in determining its future direction.
In the meantime, Jang’s statement has put to rest speculation about his defection, and he is expected to continue playing a key role in the PDP. His experience and leadership skills will be essential in helping the party to overcome its current challenges and achieve its goals. As the political landscape in Nigeria continues to evolve, the PDP and its members, including Senator Jang, will be closely watched by observers and analysts.
