Jonah Jang says God helped him “defeat” Amaechi

The governor of Plateau State, Jonah Jang, has described his “victory” over Gov. Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers State, whom he claims to have defeated to become the new “chairman” of the Nigerian Governors’ Forum, as the will of God.

Mr. Jang, was speaking in Jos, Sunday, at a special interdenominational church service held at Faith-way Chapel Church and organized by the Plateau State government as part of the activities marking the forthcoming 14th anniversary of uninterrupted democratic governance in Nigeria.

His remarks came two days after a controversial governors’ forum election in which Mr. Amaechi was declared winner after clinching 19 votes to defeat Mr. Jang who got 16. The result of the election however portrayed Mr. Jang as a usurper to the NGF chairman position.

Governors who supported Mr. Jang rejected the outcome of the elections, claiming it was rigged.

On Saturday, Mr. Jang convened a meeting of the protesting governors and presided as chairman.

“I can assure you that my emergence as the chairman Nigerian Governors’ Forum was the will of God because I went to Abuja for the NGF election not with the intention to contest but northern governors and the PDP governors’ forum endorsed my candidature. When (Ibrahim) Shema of Kastina stepped down, both forums insisted I should contest; I contested and won. So, it’s the will of God.”

He said he had never wanted to be chairman of the NGF.

Mr. Jang told the church that the allegation that a faction of the NGF rigged the elections in his favour was not true.
“God is a democrat, does not support rigging but if you rig and succeed, that means God approve of it.”

Mr. Jang called on Nigerians to pray for their leaders to enable the present administration at all levels succeed.
He said the current controversies being faced by government at the moment is a foreshadow of what is likely to happen at the 2015 general elections.

“I believe that God has anointed who will be President of Nigeria in 2015 but only him knows who it is,” he stated.
He also said democratic governance was the best form of government that takes care of every sector, pointing out that even the military enjoys more during democracy.

“The military enjoys better during democracy. I’m a living example because I was opportune to serve as governor during the military era and now again as a civilian; so, to my mind, the military should not carry guns to force out democratic governance again,” he said.

During the church service, prayers were offered for the restoration of permanent peace in the country and stability of good governance in Nigeria and the entire African continent.

Listen to Mr. Jang:
“God is a democrat, does not support rigging but if you rig and succeed, that means God approve of it.”

This is the kind of thoughtless folks that rule large sections of our country.
"If you rig and succeed, that means God approve it"?
What about "if you steal and succeed"?
What about "if you murder and succeed"?
Oh the patience of God !!!

That is why they hide behind religion and ethnicity to control gullible followers/electorates.

It is sad... Despite this, some people will still queue on election day to vote for these rogues with their ugly thumbs.

How I wish God could just slap that dirty mouth of Jang?
You did the wrong thing and still went to the church to claim God did it
How can a mere endorsement on a sheet of paper translate to an election result?
Jang won the guber elections in 2011 with the result declared by INEC,if a Plateau indigene lay claim to the governors seat saying he has signatures of majority Plateaulites approving it,would Jang accept it?
Jang,you are old enough to settle dispute btw couples,stop behaving like a kid.

Mr. Jang or whatever you call yourself. It is better you face your front and mind the dirty politics you're playing.

And never you mock the name of God. Do not drag God's name to the dirty Nigeria's politics so that you don't attract God's wrath to yourself.

Don't you dare mistake God's patience. Satan is actually using your brain in its laboratory and here you are talking about God approving a rigged election! Poor you!
