PRESS STATEMENT

In the buildup to the 2019 General Elections, I indicated interest to seek election into the office of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. In the just concluded National Convention held in Port Harcourt to elect a Presidential Candidate for our Party the People’s Democratic Party, that journey came to an end when His Excellency former Vice-president Atiku Abubakar emerged victorious.

On behalf of my Campaign Team and Supporters, I hereby congratulate Atiku Abubakar for a deserved victotory and accept in totality the outcome of the Primary Elections. Special commendation must also go to the Uche Secondus led National Working Committee of our great party and the Convention Planning Committee chaired by His Excellency Ifeanyi Okowa the Executive Governor of Delta State, for a hitch free process which was free and fair by all standards of scrutiny. To be sure, it will go down in history as one of the very best Conventions in our history as a political party.

Importantly, I find it quite necessary to call the attention of our President-in-waiting to the plight of the people of the Middle-belt. These are people who have sacrificed so much for our country but have gotten death and destruction of their properties and farmlands in return. Your excellency, when you get to power and you would get there by the grace of God, let their security, welfare, and prosperity be of utmost concern to you.

As a loyal member and responsible stakeholder of the People’s Democratic Party, I hereby pledge to support and work for the actualization of the anticipated Atiku Abubakar presidency which would be the answer to the multifaceted problems confounding the current occupant of Aso Rock.

Congratulations once more.

~Distinguished Sen. (Dr.) Jonah David Jang
