G-5 governors finally declared support for Tinubu? - Wike's ally opens up

Jonah Jang Jonah Jang

Jonah Jang, a former governor of Plateau state, has debunked the claim that the G-5 Governors led by Nyesom Wike of Rivers state were supporting the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

The claim was allegedly made by the director general of the APC Presidential Campaign Council and governor of Plateau state, Simon Lalong.

Reacting on Sunday, February 12, The Punch reported that Jang who is a member of the Integrity Group (a group loyal to the G5 governors) said Nigerians no longer take anything coming from Lalong seriously.

Legit.ng gathers that the former Plateau state governor reacted through a statement released by his media aide, Clinton Garuba.

“Obvious sign that Lalong is daydreaming is him thinking that the G5 PDP governors and allies including former Governor Jang are supporting Tinubu.

“They have repeatedly said that they do not have personal problems with Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party, but with the process that brought him up.

“Yes, the integrity group has disagreements with the PDP and their withdrawal of support for Atiku’s campaign does not in any way suggest that they support the APC candidate. Only Lalong and his fellow dreamers think so," the statement read.
