Former Plateau State Governor, Senator Jonah Jang, has said the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has been one of the most united political parties in Nigeria since its formation in 1998.

Jang stated this at a caucus meeting in the Plateau North Senatorial District of the PDP.

He argued that the party has continued to stand firm at the national level without any form of division threatening its existence.

He noted that although some members had left the party over time, the PDP is still rooted in the dedication and sacrifices of its genuine founding fathers.

He said, “Since 1998, the PDP has remained one of the most united political parties in Nigeria. No faction has been able to shake its foundation.

“It makes no sense to me when I hear founding members of PDP defecting to another party. How can a founding father abandon his own house? A true and genuine founding father will not abandon his house, no matter the level of provocation.”

At the meeting, party stakeholders in the senatorial district endorsed Plateau State governor Caleb Mutfwang for a second term in office. His deputy, Josephine Piyo, and the state PDP chairman, Chris Hassan, also received unanimous support for their respective terms.
