A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party and former Plateau State Commissioner for Works, Aminu Zang, has rejected his appointment to the All Progressives Congress Presidential and Governorship Campaign Council in the state, reaffirming his loyalty to the PDP.\n<\/p>\n
Zang, whose name appeared as number 254 on the published list of the APC Campaign Council\u2019s Central Planning Committee, said he was neither consulted nor informed before his name was included.\n<\/p>\n
In a statement released on Wednesday titled, \u201cClarification on My Inclusion in the 2027 Plateau State Presidential and Governorship Campaign Council \u2013 Central Planning Committee,\u201d Zang said he remained committed to the PDP.\n<\/p>\n
He said, \u201cWhile 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.\u201d<\/p>\n
Speaking in a telephone interview with our correspondent, Zang said his inclusion in the APC campaign council was made without his knowledge or consent.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey didn\u2019t consult me. I\u2019m not angry, so to speak. But, if you read the statement that I issued, I thanked those who felt that I was worthy of inclusion in the campaign council list,\u201d he said.\n<\/p>\n
He added, \u201cUnfortunately for them, I am a bona fide member of the PDP. So, I cannot belong to the PDP and now be in the APC campaign council team. I cannot.\u201d<\/p>\n
Clarifying his political position ahead of the 2027 general elections, Zang said, \u201cI am supporting Wike\u2019s position that Tinubu returns, but for the governor, no way. I\u2019m in the PDP.\u201d <\/p>\n
He also declared support for his party\u2019s candidate, saying, \u201cOf course, we have a candidate in the PDP, Chief Kefas Wungak Ropshik.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
Asked whether the PDP had constituted its campaign council, he said, \u201cNo, not yet. They are working on it.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
In his statement, Zang called for peace ahead of the 2027 elections, urging political stakeholders to approach the electoral process with maturity and mutual respect.\n<\/p>\n
\u201cThe electoral process should be approached with maturity, mutual respect and a strong sense of responsibility,\u201d he said.\n<\/p>\n
He urged party members, supporters and the public to embrace peace, tolerance, civility and political decorum, while seeking the guidance and intervention of God for a peaceful electoral process.\n<\/p>\n
