The Campaign Organisation of Hon. Pam Jang, the Son of the immediate past governor of Plateau State, Jonah Jang, has denied allegations making the rounds that Jang had disowned his son over the contest.
It would be recalled that the eldest son of the immediate past Governor had last week joined the race to contest for the House of Representatives seat for Jos South/Jos East Federal Constituency ahead of the 2023 general elections under the platform of the main opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Itse Azi Ajiji, the Director of Campaign Organisation of Pam Jang, denied allegation in a statement on Monday in Jos.
Ajiji described the allegation as false, misleading and a conspiracy to cause confusion between fomer governor Jang and his eldest son.
He further described the allegation as mischievous, insisting that the elder statesman would never disown his son for any reason.
”The attention of the Directorate of Campaign Organisation of Hon. Pam Jang for House of Representatives for Jos South/Jos East has received with shock the misleading information making the rounds on the Social Media that the Leader of the PDP in Plateau State Sen. Jonah Jang has publicly disowned his son.
”Nothing can be said to be farthest from the truth and our Campaign organisation wouldn’t have joined issues with such mischief makers but for mention of the name of the respected father of our aspirant.
”We want to make it clear that whilst the Former Governor of Plateau State and leader of the PDP in Plateau may not see eye to eye with Hon Pam Jang on some issues, it is just a figment of their imagination that a Reverend Gentleman such as Da David Jang would disowned his own son.
”He rather informed the meeting of sone key stakeholders that his son had declared for House of Representatives and whilst he had nothing to do with such, his son Pam is of age and has the right to contest for any political position in the state or country at large.
”Surprisingly is also the creation of a website known as (Josfactsdatablog) to misrepresent what exactly happened during the close door Caucus meeting of PDP Stakeholders, recognised Journalists only attended the goodwill section of the SEC meeting and Sen. Jonah Jang never mentioned to have disowned his Son,”Ajiji insist.
The director maintained that the aspirant’s ambition was rceieving a wider acceptance across the the constituency, adding that the no amount of mischief would deter him.
”We wiwh to use this medium to state that since the declaration of Hon Pam Jang to contest for the House of Representatives we have received wide acceptance from majority of people of Jos South and Jos East which can be attested to when his league of friends purchased and presented him with the nomination form recently.
”The entire campaign team want to put on record that no amount of mischief and fake news will stop the divine aspiration of our brother and friend Pam Jang becoming victorious come 2023,”he said.
Ajiji, advised all those spreading fake news and trying to cause dispute between Hon. Pam and his father to desist forthwith or be put to shame.
