Former governor of Plateau State and elder statesman of the People Democratic Party (PDP), Da Jonah Jang, has congratulated the Party on the successful conduct of its primaries nationwide, especially in Plateau State, stating that the PDP had again demonstrated its commitment to democratic ideals and respect for the people’s mandate.

Jan stated this in a statement issued on Friday through his Media Consultant, Comrade Clinton Garuba.

Jang also warned those parading themselves as factional members of the PDP in Plateau State to stop actions that could destabilise the party. He insisted that the PDP in Plateau remained united under the leadership of Chief Raymond Dabo.
In Plateau, Hon. Sunday Garba Biggs emerged as the party’s governorship candidate for the 2027 general elections.
