As the 2015 political heat in Plateau State gets hotter, Governor David Jonah Jang has declared that there is no zoning for the governorship seat to any of the three senatorial districts of the state, urging all aspirants to rush to buy forms from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) before its expiry date.
Jang who spoke at the swearing-in of four new commissioners to replace those who resigned to run for elective seats in the 2015 general elections, said that as of “ today, seven persons from southern, five from central and three from northern senatorial districts of the state have gone to Abuja to collect forms to contest the Plateau gubernatorial primaries on the 29th of this month, adding that whoever thinks he has anything to offer the state should fill free to contest the primaries.
Jang said he believes that God has anointed a man who will take over from him, advising those campaigning in Abuja to return home to Jos to tell the people what they have to offer.
Jang who is running for Plateau North senatorial race, said that it is the voters in Plateau that would vote in the party primaries and the February 2015 general elections, adding that Abuja has nothing to do to influence what is going to happen on the political scene in the state as the power to decide the fate of all political aspirants rests with the people.
Meanwhile, the organised Labour, comprising Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Trade Union Congress (TUC) and Joint negotiating Council in the state, has indicated interest in deciding who wins the state governorship seat and other elective seats in 2015 general elections on the state.
Meanwhile, 15 PDP and four All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship aspirants have picked their nomination forms for the primaries in the state.
