FORMER Governor of Plateau State who is also a serving senator representing Plateau North, Senator Jonah Jang has declared his intention to contest for the presidential primary on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party.

A close associate of Senator Jang who was a former Secretary to Plateau State Government Professor Shedrach Best who disclosed this to Nigerian Tribune in Jos, Plateau State said the former governor has submitted his letter of intent to the National Secretariat of the PDP in Abuja and also made a declaration at his constituency.

According to him, Senator Jang ed the race after a wide consultation in the country especially in the Middle Belt which is his immediate constituency as far as the presidential race is a concern.

“After he submitted his letter of intent to contest at the National Secretariat of the PDP in Abuja, he had a wide consultation and meeting with his followers in his constituency and got the nod of the people to contest for the number one seat.

“Senator Jang decided to throw his hat into the ring having examined the state of the nation especially the insecurity, energy, bad economy and lack of purposeful direction by those in leadership positions in the country. He ed the race primarily to make a difference”.

Professor Best who said the former governor of Jang has the full of the Middle Belt for his aspiration added that the fact that the geopolitical zone has not enjoyed representation through electoral governance further propelled Senator Jang to indicate his interest to contest.

“PDP has zoned presidency to the North, the North Central otherwise called the Middle Belt has not enjoyed representation through electoral governance, it is the belief of Senator Jang that since North Central is part of the North it should be given an opportunity this time around,” he said.

Professor Best further disclosed that the former governor will fully launch out this week from Plateau state where the campaign will be taken to other parts of the country.

October 8 headline go bloody
I can't even imagine unkept Jang meeting World leaders as Nigeria's president.

Congratulations to president BUHARI in advance as president elect in 2019 presidential election.

What? Wonders shall never end.Meanwhile goodluck to Jang.If Buhari with all his well known horrible antecedents can win election then anybody can also do it.

If Buhari can be Nigeria's President then even a goat can go for that seat now.

What an hopeless country where criminals thrives while hardworking citizens suffer. In a sane society, Jonag Jang wouldn't dare come out to contest for any election. Wasn't Jonah Jang charged for embezzlement few weeks ago? So he intends running for presidency while having cloud of criminal charges over his head

Jang has succeed in campaigning for Buhari, in a place PMB scored over 100,000 in Plateau State with this declaration.

Jang ke, walahi PDP presidential primary go madt gan

His people are leading him on so he can release some of his loot as they "mobilize" for him.

No, this is to ridicule PDP.
He finally woke up from sleeping during plenary and was told PDP zoned the presidential seat to the North and without thinking twice jumped in. I can't imagine the President of a country as big as Nigeria sleeping in a World Economic Forum or UN Submit.

Somebody pushed him out, most likely to devide the Vote of Atiku during the primaries.

Let's hear the next person

What are his atticidents to qualify him for presidential race?

Atiku self...

PDP has good nominees for VP position but none to match PMB.

Congrts to the later.
