Former Governor of Plateau State and Senator representing Plateau North senatorial zone in the National Assembly, Jonah David Jang, has said that he would be at the office of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Thursday following his invitation by the commission to clear some “perceived grey areas” during his eight years in office as governor of the state.
A statement signed by his legislative aide, Olivia Dazyam, stated: “This has become necessary owing to the fact that Senator Jang owes it a duty, having meritoriously served as governor of Plateau State for eight years to clear any grey areas that may need further clarification in the course of his stewardship.
“Let no one therefore misinform the public, and especially the people of northern Plateau with contrived stories; the truth remains that Jang has received an invitation from the EFCC to give further explanations to some perceived grey areas for which former appointees of the governor have been severally invited by the EFCC without any evidence to back the spurious claims and allegations by some petitioner; an invitation he is going to honour on January 14, 2016.
“As a two-term military governor and a democratically-elected governor for two terms of four years each, Jang will not create any encumbrances in order not to appear before the EFCC to give account of his actions while in office, which he executed to the best of his ability and in the best interest of the Plateau people.”
Dazyam, then called on Jang’s supporters and his constituents to remain calm and pay no attention to inciting stories that may come up as a result of his visit to the EFCC, stating that Jang took oath of office to defend the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria which served as a priority for him when he was a governor and a senator.
