1 hour ago 2

A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and former Plateau State Commissioner for Works, Aminu Zang, has reaffirmed his loyalty to the party by rejecting his appointment to the All Progressives Congress, APC, Presidential and Governorship Campaign Council in the state.

Zang explained that he was neither consulted nor informed before his name was included in the list.

Zang's name appeared as number 254 on the published list of the APC Campaign Council’s Central Planning Committee.

In a statement he released on Wednesday, titled 'Clarification on My Inclusion in the 2027 Plateau State Presidential and Governorship Campaign Council – Central Planning Committee', Zang explained that he remains committed to the PDP.

"While I sincerely appreciate those who considered me worthy of inclusion and deemed me suitable for the responsibilities associated with this important assignment, I wish to state, unequivocally and without any ambiguity, that I remain an unrepentant and committed member of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, of the RAINBOW COALITION extraction," he said.

Zang explained that while he is supporting President Bola Tinubu's reelection, he was against a second term of Governor Caleb Mutfwang, of the APC.

He also declared support for the PDP governorship candidate, Chief Kefas Wungak Ropshik.

Zang sued for peace ahead of the 2027 elections, urging political stakeholders to approach the electoral process with maturity and mutual respect.
