A group operating under the auspices of PDP Youth Vanguard on Tuesday called for the resignation of Former Senator David Jonah Jang, as leader of the party accusing him of manipulating and leading the Party astray.

Addressing journalists in Jos, the Spokesperson of the group Comrade Andrew John, said they are deeply concerned about recent developments within the party that have raised questions about its unity, reputation, and overall direction.

In their words ” “We believe that former Senator David Jonah Jang, who has held a prominent leadership role within the party, is actively manipulating and leading the PDP astray.

“In light of this, we hereby call for his immediate resignation, allowing the party to reorganize and conduct its congress.”

” The PDP has a strong legacy of championing the rights and aspirations of the Nigerian people. “

” It has always been the party’s primary goal to foster unity, promote socio-economic development, and provide good governance to Nigerians at all levels. “

“However, recent events have left the party divided, fueling concerns about its ability to fulfill its core values and responsibilities that led to the removal of the entire national legislators both red and green chambers by the Appeal court on the issue that PDP has no structure on the plateau, the Governor, and the PDP House of Assembly members shall also face the same judgment at the appeal court. “

According to the group ” Baba Jang as a party leader/ stakeholder should tell the youths nothing but the truth instead of misleading them to do things ignorantly. “

” We know he’s aware and in picture of all the happenings within and outside the party. it’s because of him the party lost out in the 2015 general election which he imposed the candidature of Sen. Edward Pwajok, same person who caused the disqualification of PDP in the 2022 chairmanship election in the state.

They added that “Former Senator David Jonah Jang, a respected figure within the party, is responsible for all actions detrimental to the PDP’s progress in Plateau state and Nigeria at large.

The PDP Youth Vanguard firmly believes that his alleged manipulation and misguided leadership have led the party astray and negatively impacted its reputation. It is our duty as members and stakeholders to hold our leaders accountable and ensure the party’s best interests are upheld.

In light of these circumstances, the PDP Youth Vanguard hereby insists on the immediate resignation of Former Senator David Jonah Jang leader of the party from his leadership position.

“We believe that this step is crucial for the party to regain its unity and refocus on its core principles. “With new leadership, the PDP will have the opportunity to reestablish its reputation, restore the confidence of the Nigerian people, and better serve the nation.

Furthermore, we urge the party leadership and all stakeholders to facilitate a transparent and inclusive process for conducting a congress.

 This will allow party members to actively participate in decision-making, elect new leaders, and collectively shape the future of the PDP. By embracing democracy and giving a voice to all party members, the PDP can begin a process of healing, and unity, and regain its standing as a leading political force in Nigeria.

The PDP Youth Vanguard is committed to working tirelessly towards the betterment of our beloved party. We stand united in our determination to ensure that these issues are addressed promptly for the sake of the PDP, and its members, they added
