Former Plateau State Governor and Senator Jonah Jang has dismissed reports claiming he has defected from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, to either the African Democratic Congress, ADC, or the Social Democratic Party, SDP.
In a statement released on Sunday by his media consultant, Clinton Garuba, Jang described the reports as “fake” and reaffirmed his continued membership of PDP, a party he helped to establish.
“While the former governor would have ordinarily dismissed the so-called news item as yet another attempt by mischief-makers, it is imperative to state that, as a founding member of the PDP, Senator Jang remains in the party of pride of the Nigerian people – the PDP.
“Even though the PDP is going through turbulent times, it is his firm belief that the numerous ongoing court cases will bring an end to the various crises in the PDP and return it to the pinnacle of Nigerian politics.
“Distinguished Senator Jang strongly believes that the PDP will put its past behind it and reclaim its pride of place,” the statement said.
