Former Plateau State Governor, Senator Jonah David Jang, has described the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) primary elections as transparent, credible and democratic, contrasting them with what he alleged were less transparent processes in some other political parties.
In a statement issued through his Media Consultant, Comrade Clinton Garuba, Jang congratulated the PDP on the conduct of its primaries nationwide, particularly in Plateau State, where Hon. Sunday Garba Biggs emerged as the party’s governorship candidate for the 2027 election.
According to Jang, the exercise reflected strong internal democracy, organisation and unity within the PDP. “There is no doubt that the difference in approach, planning and execution as witnessed during the PDP primary elections and those of some other parties was significant,” he said.
The former governor alleged that while the PDP allowed party members to determine outcomes through a transparent process, some parties were accused of imposing candidates. However, he did not provide specific evidence for the claim.
Jang also urged individuals involved in internal disputes within the PDP in Plateau State to avoid actions capable of undermining party unity. He maintained that the party remains united under the leadership of Chief Raymond Dabo.
The elder statesman called on party members and Nigerians to prioritise the collective interest and remain committed to democratic values. He further urged citizens to remain vigilant and actively participate in future elections, stressing the importance of protecting the integrity of the electoral process.
