A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Plateau State, Hon. Aminu Zang, has rejected his inclusion in the All Progressives Congress (APC) 2027 Presidential and Governorship Campaign Council, insisting he remains a committed member of the opposition party.
Zang’s name reportedly appeared as number 254 on the published list of the APC Campaign Council’s Central Planning Committee. He said he was neither consulted nor informed before the appointment.
In a statement titled “Clarification on My Inclusion in the 2027 Plateau State Presidential and Governorship Campaign Council Central Planning Committee (CPC),” Zang declared that his political allegiance remains firmly with the PDP and the Rainbow Coalition.
“While I sincerely appreciate those who considered me worthy of inclusion and deemed me suitable for the responsibilities associated with this important assignment, I wish to state, unequivocally and without any ambiguity, that I remain an unrepentant and committed member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) of the RAINBOW COALITION extraction,” he said.
Speaking by telephone, Zang added: “They didn’t consult me. I’m not angry, so to speak. But, like, if you read the statement that I issued, I thanked those who felt that I was worthy of inclusion in the campaign council list. Unfortunately for them, I am a bona fide member of the PDP, so I cannot belong to the PDP and now be in the APC campaign council team. I cannot.”
On his stance ahead of the 2027 general elections, Zang clarified: “I am supporting Wike’s position that Tinubu returns, but for the governor, no way. I’m in the PDP.” He noted that the PDP has a candidate in Chief Kefas Wungak Ropshik and that the party has yet to constitute its own campaign council.
Zang urged political stakeholders, party members, supporters and the public to embrace peace, tolerance, civility and political decorum ahead of the elections, calling for maturity, mutual respect and a sense of responsibility in the electoral process. He also appealed for divine guidance for a peaceful contest.
