Former Governor of Plateau State, Senator Jonah Jang, has joined the State PDP’s leadership to reassure members, supporters, and the general public that the party remains stable, liberal, and firmly positioned to continue playing its vital role in Nigeria’s democratic development.
Jang made this assurance while reacting to the resignation of Governor Caleb Mutfwang from the PDP in a statement issued by his media consultant, Clinton Garuba. He stated that the party will continue to engage constructively with its members and remain dedicated to strengthening internal democracy.
The statement reads in part, “The attention of Senator Jang has been drawn to the formal resignation of the Governor of Plateau State, Barr. Caleb Mutfwang, from the PDP.
Mutfwang, in his resignation letter on Thursday, said his decision to withdraw from the PDP and join the APC is in line with his personal commitment to purposeful leadership and service delivery.
Our correspondent gathered that Governor Mutfwang had earlier informed Senator Jang of his desire to join the ruling All Progressives Congress, insisting that it is in the interest of the State.
Jang further urged PDP members and supporters to remain confident and committed, while wishing the Governor well in his future endeavours.
“As a father, my doors are always open whenever he seeks counsel.”
Jang urged the Governor to remain focused on serving the people of Plateau State and to work towards the betterment of the Plateau people who voted him into power, because ultimately, power lies in their hands.
The statement further challenged all those who will join the Governor in his new political path to put the interests of Plateau above party or other parochial interests, hoping that, in the end, Plateau will be the ultimate beneficiary of the political gladiators’ actions.
