Posted by: Channels TelevisionPosted date: June 27, 2013In: Current, Headlines| comment : 7 Comments and 0 Reactions [url][/url]http://www.channelstv.com/home/2013/06/27/im-old-enough-to-be-your-father-jang-tells-amaechi/[img][/img] [url][/url] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=31in-8eaYSk&feature=player_embedded The factional leader of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum (NGF) and Governor of Plateau state Governor, Jonah Jang, has said he is not quarrelling with Governor Chibuike Amaechi of Rivers State insisting that he is too old for such squabbles. Speaking to journalist at the sideline of the dinner organised by President Goodluck Jonathan to celebrate his mid-term in office, Mr Jang said he is old enough to be Mr Amaechi’s father. He said, “Amaechi is my younger brother, infact, I can say son because if you look at Amaechi’s age, I’m old enough to be his father.” Ask to respond to Mr Amaechi’s statement that he polled 19 to defeat him at the NGF elections, Mr Jang said, “Well, that is his problem but I know that I am the Chairman of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum.” Mr Amaechi defeated Mr Jang of Plateau by 19 votes to 16 last month to re-emerge as the forum’s chairman. Mr Jang, alongside 15 other governors have since formed a parallel forum. Jang is undemocratic Mr Amaechi, who had earlier presided a brief meeting of 15 governors at the Rivers State Governor’s lodge, had referred to Mr Jang as ‘undemocratic’ for refusing to accept the result of the NGF election. Also speaking to reporters at the presidential dinner party, the Rivers State governor said, “Anybody who support him, including the television house is undemocratic. “I have said it in a statement that at any point in time, we can’t accept 19 governors against 16, then we are afraid of 2015.” Asked if he was suspended from his political party – the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) – for refusing to step down for Governor Jang, Mr Amaechi said, “If the party is suspending me for that reason, then too bad; the party too must learn to be democratic. “I’m not aware that the party has given any reason for suspending me but if they say this is the reason then it is too bad. The party is yet to give me any reason for my suspension, but if that’s the reason that means the party is undemocratic.” |

Jang was military administrator of two states and now a two time elected governor of Plateau state. All together, he has been governor four times. He was governor of two states when Ameachi was a nobody. He knows exactly what he is talking about. Ameachi is not Jang's mate. 11 Likes |

Still wondering what age has got to do with anything. They asked him a simple question and he started playing the age card; for what exactly? So because you are older, we should believe that 16 is greater than (or equal to) 19? Haba! 38 Likes |

If at 70 that's all you can attribute to him,then he has not achieved much. It is not about how many positions you have occupied,it is about how many lives you have positively touched with those positions. How has Jang used his age to end the Jos crisis? How many youths are craving to be like Jang in future? May be Jang will stop being foolish when he finally clocks 70 6 Likes |

He was governor of two states when Ameachi was a nobody. He knows exactly what he is talking about. Ameachi is not Jang's mate.with this animalistic thinking, our dear country can never move forward. Should we be concerned about a politician's age here? We are all concerned about doing the right thing and moving this country forward. What role does age got to play here for goodness sake! 10 Likes |
