(http://peoplesdailyng.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Gov-Jang.jpg) (http://peoplesdailyng.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Gov-Jang.jpg)Plateau state Governor, Jonah Jang, has denied a claim by the Kano Kano state governor, Rabiu Kwankwaso, that he (Jang) begged to be nominated for the contentious position of NGF chairman.
A statement yesterday by the Plateau state Commissioner for Information and Communication, Yiljap Abraham, said that Jang never begged any governor to nominate him.
According to the statement, Jang lost the election by 16 votes to 19 to Amaechi.
"Governor Jang never sought to be consensus candidate, he never begged for NGF chairmanship and so cannot be disgraced.
"We refuse to consider that political deception should be celebrated as a national value or that it proves a graduation from elementary politics.
"Rather, leaders should be made to uphold universally accepted values such as truthfulness, unity, sincerity, courage and integrity," the statement said.
