Jang made his decision known on
Tuesday at the secretariat of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Jos,
Plateau state.
The former governor also
presented his letter of intent at the PDP secretariat.
Jang is currently standing trial
for alleged misappropriation of N6.3 billion between 2007 and 2015 when he was
governor.
A state high court sitting in
Jos, in July, adjourned his trial till October 30.
A 12-count charge of abuse of
office and misappropriation of funds was brought against him by the Economic
and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) before Daniel Longji, a justice of the
court.
Jang is being tried alongside
Yusuf Gyang Pam, a former cashier in the office of the secretary to the Plateau
state government.
The offences were said to have
been perpetrated a few months before the end of Jang’s tenure as governor in
2015.
Jang was in May held in the
custody of the anti-graft agency for nine days before he was arraigned.
