          The Plateau State governor Jonah Jang has stated that President Goodluck Jonathan is a full fledge democrat while the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), General Mohamadu Buhari, is a dictator.

          He said that General Buhari’s anti democratic tendencies and negative records would speak against him at the forthcoming presidential polls. Governor Jang, who stated this at a campaign rally in Barakin Ladi Local Government Area of Plateau State to drum up support for the gubernatorial candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state, Senator Gyang Pwajok, said that APC presidential candidate humiliated a lot of people while in power as the military Head of State.

          In his words “Buhari humiliated politicians as Head of State. I was in the military with General Buhari and we in the military knew him very well. If I am General Buhari, I would have bowed out of the presidential race. What Buhari did to politicians in the past would hunt him in the present and future. “Buhari allowed the military to get into his head. He was going about jailing innocent citizens and politicians and he is still saying he would renovate Kirikiri prisons. “Now that he is a politician, he should go and test the prisons in the same manner he sent other politicians to jail while he was military head of state before he can join the league of politicians in the country.”

          Governor Jang who was also a former Military Administrator in the old Gongola and Benue states assured President Goodluck Jonathan that the state would vote massively for the PDP in the forthcoming elections. Also speaking at the occasion, the Director General, Gyang Pwajok Governorship Campaign Organisation, Daniel Kungmi, also said that the people of the state would reject Buhari at the polls mostly because of his antecedents.

The PDP gubernatorial candidate in the state, Gyang Pwajok, called on the people of the state to come out en mass to vote for the PDP in the forthcoming elections and assured them of his readiness to move the state to greater heights if voted into power.
