A statement signed by Clinton Garuba
Media, the Consultant to Senator Jonah David Jang, reads that my attention of Senator (Dr) has been drawn to the formal resignation of the Governor of Plateau State, Barr. Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang, from the PDP. He has noted the Governor’s decision to withdraw from the PDP and join the APC, in light of his personal commitment to purposeful leadership and service delivery, as reflected in the resignation notice.
Governor Mutfwang had earlier informed Senator Jang of his desire to join the ruling All Progressive Party, insisting that it is in the interest of the State.
Senator Jang joins the State PDP leadership to reassure members, supporters, and the general public that the party remains stable, liberal, and firmly positioned to continue playing its vital role in Nigeria’s democratic development. The party will also continue to engage constructively with its members and remain dedicated to strengthening internal democracy while advancing policies and programs that promote inclusive governance and national development.
PDP members and supporters are enjoined to remain confident and committed.
To Governor Mutfwang, Senator Jang wishes him well in his future endeavors. As his father, Senator Jang’s doors are always open whenever he seeks counsel, and he urges him to remain focused on serving the people of Plateau State and to work toward the betterment of the Plateau people who voted him to power, because ultimately, power lies in their hands.
To all those who will join the Governor on his new political path, he charges them to put the interests of Plateau above party or other parochial interests, hoping that, in the end, Plateau will be the ultimate beneficiary of the political gladiators’ actions,he added .
