JONAH JANG ABBERATION MUST NOT STAND
The Committee for Democracy and Rights of the People (CDRP)
condemned in strongest word, the undemocratic self-declaration of Jonah Jang as
the chairman National Governor’s Forum, it is palpably disheartening that those who work vigorously against
democracy have started to thwart democracy from within. It is on record that
Governor Rotimi Amaechi of River State won the election by 19 votes to Governor
Jonah Jang of Plateau State 16, which was duly announced by Director General of
the Forum.
Governor Jonah Jang with so much innocent blood in his hands
,deserve not to be the governor of Plateau State, if not for the collective
gang rape of genuine democracy through ballot stuffing and gross electoral
irregularities. His antecedent as anti-democracy and anti-people makes him
undeserving to lead the forum of Governor in Nigeria.
To add salt to our democratic injury, He declared himself as
the Chairman in an election he was democratically defeated, this is a rape of
democracy, and we condemned it. It is not only ungodly but also negates all
democratic best practices; Democracy should be nurtured on the principle of
equity, fairness, truth, justice and accountability.
All genuine progressive minded democrats must not only
condemn it, but they must stop celebrating fraud and mediocrity, only truth and
Justice can build a nation. CDRP therefore call on Jonah Jang to stop parading
himself as chairman of NGF with immediate effect, and embraced his brother governor
of Rivers State in building a strong democratic forum of Governors in Nigeria.
For: CDRP, Nigeria
