Speaking on Monday, during a courtesy visit to the National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Adamu Mu’azu, the governor threw his weight behind the yet-to-be declared 2015 re-election bid of Jonathan, assuring that the President would be re-elected next year.

Jang, who is a factional chairman of the Nigerian Governors’ Forum (NFG) promised that he would lead Plateau State to deliver over one million votes for President Jonathan.

"Plateau has never failed. We are here to assure you that we have total confidence in the leadership of Mr. President and we have total confidence in your leadership" Jang said. "I want to assure you that we will do even better than 2011 when we gave the President over one million votes, the best state that delivered in the north. We are going to do more". 

According to him, the state chapter of the PDP had already laid the foundation for a resounding victory for the party in the 2015 elections, citing the outcome of the recently conducted local government election in the state.

Responding, Mu’azu, urged the governor and other stakeholders in the state to allow defectors from the ruling party to be fully integrated.
