\"Plateau<\/p>\n

\u2026Reaffirms loyalty to party<\/em><\/p>\n

By Golok Nanmwa, Jos<\/strong><\/p>\n

A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Plateau State, Hon. Aminu Zang, has rejected his inclusion in the All Progressives Congress (APC) 2027 Presidential and Governorship Campaign Council in the state, insisting that he remains a committed member of the opposition party.<\/p>\n

Zang, whose name reportedly 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 in the committee.<\/p>\n

In a statement titled \u201cClarification on My Inclusion in the 2027 Plateau State Presidential and Governorship Campaign Council \u2013 Central Planning Committee (CPC)\u201d, Zang said his political allegiance remained firmly with the PDP and the Rainbow Coalition.<\/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 conversation with our correspondent, Zang said, \u201cThey didn\u2019t consult me. I\u2019m not angry, so to speak. \u201cBut, like, 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<\/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

On 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 further declared, \u201cOf course, we have a candidate in the PDP, Chief Kefas Wungak Ropshik.\u201d<\/p>\n

He also disclosed that the PDP had yet to constitute its campaign council, saying, \u201cNo, not yet. They are working on it.\u201d<\/p>\n

In his statement, Zang urged political stakeholders, party members, supporters and members of the public to embrace peace, tolerance, civility and political decorum ahead of the 2027 general elections.<\/p>\n

He said, \u201cThe electoral process should be approached with maturity, mutual respect and a strong sense of responsibility.\u201d<\/p>\n

He also urged all stakeholders to seek the guidance and intervention of Almighty God for a peaceful electoral process.<\/p>\n
