Former governor of Plateau State, Jonah Jang, says the G-5 governors of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and their allies including himself, will not support the presidential candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu for the February 25 election.
Jang, in a statement issued by his media consultant, Clinton Garuba, noted that the G5 and their allies do not have personal problems with the presidential candidate of the PDP, Atiku Abubakar, but with the process that brought him up and the ensuing structural imbalance it has created in the party.
He said because the G-5, also called integrity group, disagreed with the PDP and withdrew support for its presidential candidate’s campaign does not, in any way, suggest they are supporting the APC presidential candidate.
Jang added that Governor Simon Lalong, who is the director general of Tinubu’s campaign, is daydreaming, to think that the G-5 are with Tinubu.
“The attention of former Governor of Plateau State, Senator Jonah David Jang, has just been drawn to recent comments attributed to the Governor of Plateau State, Rt. Hon Simon Lalong, at the flag-off of the APC campaign rally, held at Wase that the G5 PDP governors are supporting the APC presidential candidate.
“Only Lalong and his fellow dreamers think so and will stop at nothing to mislead the public, in order to get favourable feedback for a bad product they so desperately want to sell.
“Need we remind the governor once more that this again is a figment of his imagination, conjectured to put him in good stead with the Plateau people he long abandoned in pursuit of interest that clearly undermines the Plateau people he claims to govern”, he said.
