A former Governor of Plateau State, Jonah Jang, has said that there was no iota of truth that northern governors of the Peoples Democratic Party worked against the re-election bid of former President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan during the 2015 general election as claimed by a former governor of Niger State, Babangida Aliyu.

Aliyu had on Friday revealed that northern governors of the PDP worked against the re-election of former President Goodluck Jonathan in 2015.

He said they worked against Jonathan’s re-election because he reneged on an agreement not to seek a second term.

Aliyu said this in a statement he signed titled, ‘Why We Opposed Jonathan’s Second Term Bid –Babangida Aliyu.’

He was reacting to his purported suspension by the PDP in Chachanga Local Government Area of Niger State for alleged anti-party activities, including working against Jonathan in 2015.

But Jang who was governor of Plateau State at the time, in a statement in Jos on Saturday, said there was no time the 19 northern governors “met, deliberated and decided not to support the re-election bid of ex-president Goodluck Jonathan.”

In the statement titled, ‘Dr Muazu Babangida Aliyu Lied,’ signed by his Media Consultant, Clinton Garuba, Jang said, “The attention of the immediate past governor of Plateau State, Senator Dr. Jonah David Jang, has just been drawn to a statement credited to the past governor of Niger State, where he alleged that the then 19 states northern governors met, deliberated and all decided not to support the re-election of the then President Goodluck Jonathan in 2015. We wish to state categorically that Senator Dr. Jonah Jang was not part of that meeting.

“For the avoidance of doubt, despite the perceived shortcomings of President Goodluck Jonathan, Senator Jonah believed that Jonathan was better equipped to rule Nigeria at the time, especially when his opponent was General Buhari. Jang did not hide his conviction concerning Buhari’s inabilities to resolve the Nation’s challenges and sensitivities of the issues at the moment. Unfortunately, Buhari won and we are all witnesses to the tales of woes.

“We view the statement of Dr. Aliyu as an attempt to drag the hard earn reputation of Jang into disrepute, having served Nigeria as a military officer, later a civilian Governor and Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and discharged his responsibilities without blemish.

“Senator Jang is not one who speaks from both sides of his mouth, rather he speaks and supports only what he believes, little wonder that Plateau was won by President Jonathan in the 2015 general elections, largely due to the hard work of the then governor.

“For emphasis sake, there was no basis for Dr. Jang not to have supported Dr. Jonathan especially when the contest was against General Buhari.”

They will soon remember jang

These people keep setting confusion into the mind of their supporters. So who are we to believe : Dr Aliyu's narrative or Dr Jang's?

E go be

Na u sabi

We all know what happened, but my happiness is that buhari eventually ruled this nation, otherwise you will be hearing that buhari would have been the BEST President Nigeria will ever get. Some would have been arguing that buhari would have made $1 to be 50kobo or that he would have built 4 refineries in 4 years etc

Why Jonathan this time around. is sth happening that we don't know of?

But why are they telling us?

If not that they just wanna trend..

Nonsense & Jonah jang/Baba Aliyu

Same old fool

He said they worked against Jonathan’s re-election because... as usual, speaking from both sides of the mouth. They didn’t work against Jonathan. They did because...

And they want to bring in Tinubu. A vote for Tinubu is a vote against Nigeria. Only vote Tinubu if you like the state of things in Nigeria. He is Buhari 3.0

The deed has been done already

Don’t mind people looking for convenient a excuse.

Even if some did how many of them and what impact wud that have made when almost the whole country wasn’t happy with how things were going in the country?

Were Obasanjo, Saraki, Atiku Northern Governors?

Even from weeks leading to the elections it was obvious to everyone Jonathan might loose.

Oga PDP Northerner Governor's worked against Jonathan so shut up

leave нere ѕιr, вeғore ι carry ĸnιғe

Buhari, APC and their supporters are the most unfortunate people that came out of Nigeria.

The north should just focus on eradicating the insecurity ravaging it.

na wah oh

This Jang is also a badt guy make EFCC reason him matters abeg

I believe you Jang...
Jang cannot support Buhari.
Never!!!
If you are thinking why Plateau is led by APC well it's Just some last minute political miscalculations that messed things up...
That I know!!

The northern leaders are the major problems we have in Nigeria

Some of them did

No so!

God knows best.

Even Adamu followed GEJ to every campaign but where is he today?

It is rumoured that even PDP chair, Adamu was against GEJ
