The factional leader of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum (NGF) and Governor of Plateau state Governor, Jonah Jang, has said he is not quarrelling with Governor Chibuike Amaechi of Rivers State insisting that he is too old for such squabbles.

Speaking to journalist at the sideline of the dinner organised by President Goodluck Jonathan to celebrate his mid-term in office, Mr Jang said he is old enough to be Mr Amaechi’s father.

He said, “Amaechi is my younger brother, infact, I can say son because if you look at Amaechi’s age, I’m old enough to be his father.”

Ask to respond to Mr Amaechi’s statement that he polled 19 to defeat him at the NGF elections, Mr Jang said, “Well, that is his problem but I know that I am the Chairman of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum.”

Mr Amaechi defeated Mr Jang of Plateau by 19 votes to 16 last month to re-emerge as the forum’s chairman. Mr Jang, alongside 15 other governors have since formed a parallel forum.

Jang is undemocratic

Mr Amaechi, who had earlier presided a brief meeting of 15 governors at the Rivers State Governor’s lodge, had referred to Mr Jang as ‘undemocratic’ for refusing to accept the result of the NGF election.

Also speaking to reporters at the presidential dinner party, the Rivers State governor said, “Anybody who support him, including the television house is undemocratic.

“I have said it in a statement that at any point in time, we can’t accept 19 governors against 16, then we are afraid of 2015.”

Asked if he was suspended from his political party – the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) – for refusing to step down for Governor Jang, Mr Amaechi said, “If the party is suspending me for that reason, then too bad; the party too must learn to be democratic.

“I’m not aware that the party has given any reason for suspending me but if they say this is the reason then it is too bad. The party is yet to give me any reason for my suspension, but if that’s the reason that means the party is undemocratic.”


i think Amaechi's ''father'' should go and fix his state in other.

Goddex: Jang was military administrator of two states and now a two time elected governor of Plateau state. All together, he has been governor four times. He was governor of two states when Ameachi was a nobody. He knows exactly what he is talking about. Ameachi is not Jang's mate.

Well Governor Jang,you don't have to expatiate or overflog the age difference,that's not why we are here.
We know you are the chairman of the REAL and IMPORTANT faction of the governors forum,let Amaechi be leading the useless bunch of ACN and CPC governors,maybe he will help them determine who flies their flag at the 2015 elections

This I think is sad. I do not hear of anything substantial Jang has done as the Plateau state governor. That he was a military administrator makes him a suspect of looting since that, for the most part, was the order of the day during the era of military regimes. Jang's comment (if you are chanced to watch it) was a subtle disparage of Amaechi's person on the basis of age. He deserves scolding for it.

If you claim to be old enough to be his father, then stop JANGING about and give him his mandate, and stop parading yourself as the chairman of the NGF. R.E.T.A.R.D.E.E.N

He has been governor four times for four years right 4x4=16years! Please tell me 16 incredible things Mr Jang has done in that 16yrs time.

The way these men play politics is no different than what obtains in our tertiary institutions.

Since I was born, and now I am old, I've never seen anywhere 16>19!!

I don't understand how people think. We in democracy! It is not age and or how many times Mr Jang has been a gov. the fact that he contested an election with someone and lost, His experience and age should have made he civil enough to either conceed defeat or go to court to seek redress if there he feels there was something wrong with the election process that gave Ameachi 19 votes. He announcing that he is the chairman of NGF when he lost the election is very very undemocratic.
If he is not ameachi's mate while did he contest? Nigerian Mentality. They are both Governors of different states so they are Mates.

No he is not Amaechi's coeval, this is equally true for Barack Obama who could maybe be his son but how is that relevant to the issue on ground

The number of time you've been quoted here will most likely break Nairaland record of most quoted comment and it's all for the wrong reason.....the verdict on your comment is awful to say the least.

pendusky: hw much do u knw Jang?? SMH.

I don't need to know him more than I do at the moment to make a comment on him......he got to where he is today due mainly to nepotism in the military that catapulted him above his competence....and it's glaring in the way he has managed the crisis in Jos and his latest utterances on the NGF crisis..
