Jonah Jang, a former governor of Plateau State and Presidential
aspirant of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has vowed not to step
down for any other aspirant.
Jang said he won’t step down because he was determined to become President.
He said this while fielding questions from journalists at his residence in Maitama, Abuja.
He said, “If I am to step down, why would I be aspiring in the first place?
“I am here to run for the presidency and become the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
“Who do you want me to step down for? My party cannot ask me to step down because they sold that form to me.”
Jang also highlighted his plans if he became President.
The former governor promised to revamp the economy of the country and
restructure the anti-corruption bodies so that they would no longer be
perceived as hunting political opponents.
“The way we are fighting corruption is discouraging people from
investing into the economy of Nigeria. You start a business they send
EFCC to investigate how you got the money. Of course, economy of a
country can’t be developed without fighting corruption but I would do
that in a different way. I would structure them to the international
standard,” he said.
