Senator Jonah Jang, a former governor of Plateau State, has described the conduct of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, primaries as credible, transparent and democratic.
Jang was reported to have said the exercise was a sharp contrast to “results written in hotel rooms” by other political parties.
The elder statesman said this in a statement released on Friday through his Media Consultant Comrade Clinton Garuba.
Jang praised the PDP for the successful holding of its primaries nationwide especially in Plateau State.
The party’s governorship candidate for the 2027 general elections in Plateau emerged as the Hon. Sunday Garba Biggs.
The former governor said the smooth conduct of the primaries was a manifestation of the party’s organisation, unity and commitment to internal democracy.
“There is no doubt about it, the difference in approach, planning and execution as seen during the primary elections of the PDP and that of the other political party was like day and night,” he said.
“The PDP is open to all members and allowed their wishes to prevail through a transparent process,” Jang said. He said some other parties resorted to imposition, impunity.
“In those parties, ‘results were merely written in hotel rooms despite elections held on the field,’ he said.
The former governor said the PDP had again proved its commitment to democratic principles and respect for the will of the people.
Jang warns faction members
Jang also cautioned those posing as factional members of the PDP in Plateau State to desist from acts that could destabilise the party.
He said the PDP in Plateau was still united under the leadership of Chief Dabos Raymond.
