2019 elections: Jang promises Atiku, PDP 2 million votes in Plateau

By
A former Governor of Plateau State and Senator representing Plateau North, Jonah Jang, on Monday boasted that the state will deliver two million votes for the PDP presidential flag bearer Atiku Abubakar, come February 16, 2019.

Jang accused the APC-led government in the country of taking the nation backward through its bad policies, adding that PDP would unseat it in the forthcoming polls.

He stated this while speaking at the Plateau State PDP gubernatorial zonal rally for the northern zone held in Jos South LGA of the State, where urged the APC to accept defeat and handover power to the winners of election on May 29.

“The ruling All Progressives Congress want to remain in power at all cost, but in 2015 when we (PDP) lost, we handed over to them; they should do same if they lose in 2019.

“Since 1999, no PDP presidential candidate had ever lost an election in Plateau State, and failure will not start in 2019.

“I want to urge Plateau people that during the forthcoming presidential polls, the PDP Presidential flag bearer should get two million votes in the state.

“As for me I have gone to the Senate as have realized that, I should give way for the younger ones to continue, that is why I have endorsed Hon. Istifanus Gyang as our Senator for Plateau North, and other PDP flag bearers in our zone.”

He added that democracy has come to stay in Nigeria, and urged the citizenry to ensure that all candidates in the party are returned in the forthcoming polls.

In his address, Sen. Jeremiah Useni, State PDP governorship candidate, promised to end insecurity in the state if elected on March 2, 2019.

Useni, a retired Lt General said he would ensure peace returns to all parts of the state to pave way for even development.

He added that his government would put in place modalities that would end the lingering farmer-herder unrest in the state.

“I will end insecurity in Plateau and ensure peace return to all parts of the state if I become governor, because nothing will work smoothly for us without security of lives and properties.

“We must stop the killings; we must do that to enable our farmers go to their farms without fear of being killed.

“That way, we will have enough food to eat locally and even export, and that will also expand our revenue base,” he said.

The candidate, who promised to serve the state with the whole of his strength, assured that he would run an all-inclusive government.

“Nobody will be neglected; we shall run an all-inclusive government where everybody will be involved,” he pledged.

In his address, Chef Damishi Sango, chairman of the party in the state, urged the party supporters to peacefully protect their votes on election days.

He also urged Plateau residents to vote PDP at all levels in the forthcoming polls.

According to InfoMigrants, Nigerian women are at growing risk from traffickers in Germany who exploit and engage them in prostitution. Read the full report below by InfoMigrants. The new prostitute protection law in Germany was meant to identify victims of human trafficking – most of them migrant women. More than 18 months after the law came into effect, thousands continue to be targeted for exploitation, and the risk for Nigerian women seems to be increasing. There are campervans parked by the roadside. Some have hearts painted on them, one says “girls, girls” in red letters. It’s an easy matter for someone to stop for a quick transaction in one of these Love-Mobiles – sex with one of the “girls” in exchange for the going rate. Prostitution is mainly legal in Germany, as are these mobile brothels. But many of the women in the business – including those working from the Love-Mobiles – are victims of illegal human trafficking. Most of the women are from Eastern Europe or Nige

FULL TEXT: A sacrifice for our new political order – Ezekwesili

“When the ACPN leadership approached me in a series of visits to appeal that I run for office on their platform, the party appeared to be a good fit. It was founded by some disgruntled PDP members some years ago, but when its prime founder decided to return to the PDP, a core of its membership refused to move back with him. I was told that they stayed back because of their opposition to the ways of the PDP. Considering my vocal disapproval of the PDP and the APC, I admired the ACPN’s decision to stand firm and refusal to be co-opted.” It has been an interesting one week since I made the tough but necessary decision to suspend my campaign for the presidency. I have been truly overwhelmed by the reactions to my announcement from Nigerians. Even in airports outside the country as I travelled last week, Nigerians walked up to me with questions, concerns, encouragement, and motivation. I also saw disappointment by some who had poured their hearts and hopes into actualising our mission
