Abuja (Sundiata Post) – The Special Adviser to the Plateau State Governor, Caleb Mutfwang, on Intergovernmental Affairs, Rt. Hon. Abubakar Yahaya Kanam on Wednesday congratulated the former governor of Plateau State, Jonah David Jang on the occasion of his birthday anniversary.
Jang is 80 years old today, a statement from the former Governor’s media aide has said.
However, in a statement Yahaya-Kanam personally signed, he described Jang as a fearless, outspoken and selfless leader who embodies a transformation fighting spirit and firm resistance against injustice, abuse of process, violation of rules, divisiveness, suppression and anti-democratic tendencies in Plateau State.
“Over the years, as a military governor of Benue and Gongola States, former governor of Plateau State and a former senator representing the Plateau North senatorial district, Jang has distinguished himself as a relentless frontrunner in the quest for the unity, stability and development of our dear State.
“A kindhearted leader and lover of the people, Jang spares nothing in the pursuit of the rights as well as the welfare of all Plateau people.
“More so, the Plateau People will not forget Jang’s massive human capital and infrastructural development across the State, particularly in the critical sectors of road development, transportation, education, agriculture, manufacturing, healthcare, urban renewal and rural development among others, for which he is celebrated across the State as “Baba Jang”.
“The Plateau People appreciates Jang’s untiring sacrificial roles in salvaging and stabilizing the PDP and particularly in the current efforts to reposition it as it has retained the Governorship seat in the State.
“I heartily congratulate former governor Jang on his birthday and prays to God to bless him with many more years in good health and in the service of our dear Plateau”, he said.
