Lalong will not be re-elected in 2019 – Jang


Former governor of Pla­teau State and the in­cumbent Senator for Plateau North Senatorial Dis­trict, Jonah Jang, has said that Governor Simon Lalong of the All Progressives Congress (APC) would not be re-elect­ed in 2019.
Jang made the assertion during a constituency em­powerment programme organised by the member representing Barkin Ladi/Ri­yom federal constituency in the House of Representatives, Hon Istifanus Gyang.
He said: “The people of Plateau have decided to vote the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in 2019 and will vote against Governor Lalong if he decides to contest.”
The lawmakers con­demned the current hard­ship in the country and called on the people of the state to vote the APC out of power in 2019.
Jang called on members of PDP to unite and work to­wards the victory of the Party come 2019.
The former governor said during his first tenure he wasn’t travelling abroad like the present governor is doing, “but as it is in Plateau now, the governor has travelled abroad so many times all in the name of bringing in in­vestors, where are the inves­tors?” he said.
Also speaking at the occa­sion, the PDP Chairman in the State, Hon Damishi San­go cautioned party members not to be involved in anti-party activities.
