Tinubu Appoints Yakubu Jang As Senior Special Assistant by adenigga(op): 7:28pm On Aug 01
President Bola Tinubu has appointed Yakubu Jang, son of former Plateau State Governor Jonah Jang, as Senior Special Assistant in the Office of the President.

The announcement was made on Saturday by Vice President Kashim Shettima while delivering a goodwill message on behalf of President Tinubu at the 80th birthday celebration and book launch of Chief Jang in Jos, Plateau State.

“On behalf of Mr President, I am pleased to announce the appointment of Yakubu Jang as Senior Special Assistant in the Office of the President,” Shettima said.

The appointment was announced at the high-profile event held at the Tamarald Event Centre in Jos, which was attended by Vice President Shettima, former President Goodluck Jonathan, governors, federal and state government officials, traditional rulers and other dignitaries


Shettima said the appointment reflected the President’s recognition of capacity, loyalty and the need to accommodate diverse voices in governance.

Guests at the ceremony, including political leaders and associates of the Jang family, welcomed the announcement with applause.

The appointment came on the same day Nigeria’s political leaders gathered to honour the elder statesman for his decades of service in the Nigerian Air Force, as Military Administrator, two-term governor of Plateau State and senator.

Former Governor Jang, who turned 80, also unveiled his autobiography, Airman to Politics: My Life, during the event.

Congratulations my friend.
So there is peace in Politics.
But there must be a Victor and a victim.
Those with influential children will always win.
Those whose children are non Nigerians can't.
