Governor of Plateau state, Jonah Jang has declared that
his emergence as chairman Nigeria Governors Forum (NGF) was the will of God.
Officially, Governor Rotimi Amaechi
of Rivers State was declared winner of the election on Friday, but Jang and 18
other Governors have insisted that the Plateau State governor won the election.
Speaking on Sunday in Jos during a
special church service organized by the state government to offer special
prayers to God as part of the program of events marking the 2013 democracy
anniversary Jang said ” I did not aspire for the position”
“We got to Abuja for the NGF meeting,
in my morning devotion that very day, I prayed to God to allow his will prevail
in the meeting, not the will of human. Because I knew the kind of problem we
were passing through in the forum, so I commit everything to the hands of God.
“I never knew God has concluded his
plan on me to use me as solution to the problem, I never wanted to be chairman
NGF and that was why my name never came out as a contestant.
“But in the meeting of Northern
Governors Forum, two of the contestants from the north; Gov Yuguda and Gov
Shema voluntarily stepped down from the contest. Before I knew what was going
on, the chairman northern governors forum presented my name as their candidate
having been zoned to the north in the North-South rotational base.
“The position of the NGF was zoned to
the ruling party PDP, the PDP governors’ forum unanimously adopted my name and
the Northern Governors forum gave their consent and approval to my name.
Jang stated further, “I was surprised
at the whole thing, and when I was wandering how, my mind took me back to my
prayer during my devotion earlier in the morning and I said this is God at
work, I am not even in the position to say no to the work of God. So whatever a
man does, God will always have his way.
“I know as a pastor, before God
created you, God has already designed your program in life, whatever that
happened in your life is God’s will” said Jang
