Jos – Senator Jonah David Jang, former Governor of Plateau State and a senior leader of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state, has reaffirmed Chief Raymond Dabo as the authentic Chairman of the Plateau PDP, rejecting a recent congress he described as illegitimate.
In a statement issued on Monday through his media consultant, Comrade Clinton Garuba, Senator Jang described the Jos congress as a “kangaroo” exercise orchestrated by self-serving individuals in collaboration with external undemocratic forces aimed at discrediting the party.
He emphasized that the State Working Committee (SWC), led by Dabo, was duly elected in a properly organised congress monitored by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and fully compliant with the PDP constitution.
“There has never been any crack in the State Working Committee,” the statement said. “As far as the law and genuine PDP supporters are concerned, there was no basis for organising any congress. All actions taken at the so-called congress are therefore null, void, and of no effect whatsoever.”
Acknowledging ongoing challenges at the national level, Senator Jang said he and other PDP stakeholders have held intensive meetings in Abuja over the past two weeks to resolve issues for the sake of unity and progress. “These discussions will continue this week, and we are optimistic that all matters will be resolved soon,” he added.
He urged all genuine party members in Plateau to remain steadfast, united, and focused on constructive resolution rather than division. “Plateau is PDP, and PDP is Plateau,” Senator Jang declared. “The State Working Committee led by Chairman Chief Raymond Dabo remains the only recognised executive in the state.”
