"Democracy is not for poor people" - Jonah Jang

Those unfortunate words were uttered by Governor of Plateau state, Jonah Jang, during the PDP Governors' media chat in Lagos. I guess he lives in a bubble where only rich people will be voting during the upcoming elections.

PDP, Diaris God.

PDP is an assembly of evil men, certified robbers, occult men and women,oppressive crooks, unrepentant mandate thieves and expired yahoo boys. This evil party is Nigeria's ,as a nation, first and major problem. As long as PDP remains in power, forget about any sort of advancement for the Nigerian Nation. This a party built on pocket infrastructure and designed to plunder the nation's resources to be served on a platter to their wicked and corrupt stakeholders, innumerable prostitutes concubines, and their immediate family. With this kind of insensitive government, the common man in the streets has no hope and is at a par with an antelope in the bush. They don't even feel they owe the Nigerian people anything. A PARTY OF ANYTHING GOES. The first step to development for the Nigerian Nation is to kick out [s]impunity,administrative recklessness,corruption,irresponsibility,ineptitude,I-Will-do-govt-after-5rs[/s]PDP boju boju abracadabra,the-more-you-spend-the-less-you-see-, that blows trumpets about their achievements only on pages of newspaper and fake statistics,while the living conditions of my country men depreciates. #Ihavedecided sinceeeeeee. #KickoutPDPnow. I smell abundance of rain.....Rejoice O Nigerians. The LAND IS GONNA BE GREEN NOW.NO MORE WILL YOUR WEALTH BE PLUNDERED AWAY BY THE LOCUSTS. THE YEARS THE LOCUSTS HAVE EATEN SHALL BE RESTORED. NORTH,SOUTH,EAST,WEST .......ARISE AND SALVAGE THE FUTURE.LET US WITH ONE ACCORD #March4Buhari. God bless Nigeria and all who wish her well. GMB=Give Me Buhari

Why are some people so blinded,the news had no source,the full context of the speech was hidden and some one just brought out a line of sentence from a press briefing and some APC robots programmed to stay online,quickly jumped on the news....however Jang that i know wldnt say such,he is a perfect gentleman,he performed wonders in plateau state,a man of the masses,one of the best airforce officers nigeria ever had,i know he was quoted out of context.
I cant wait to vote for GEJ and hope he continues with his transformation agenda till 2019.God bless Nigeria.

That's always been the PDP position.


Didn't one of them tell the masses phones were not for poor people.


Whether it's political or economic democratisation, PDP is rarely on the side of the masses.

Bros with all due respect, no matter the context he puts it; even if the full text of what he said is brought, so long as that sentence was made, he has no excuse. Just like Fayose talks recklessly and you ask for the full text of what he said before you know he talks like a tout.

PDP members are fund of talking recklessly. For me even saying the party will rule for 60yrs is reckless. It raises question of whether we are to decide that or they are to decide it.

OP

Jang said that Politics is not for poor men because they cannot afford the cost of running the campaign and all the expenses involved.

I watched it live.

[size=14pt]He was spot on! You cannot contest for an elective position as a poor man. Contesting for elections cost a lot of money. He wasnt referring to voters, he was referring to politicians and he was very correct.

He was actually responding to the question on why politicians use heavy security and he said that it was because of the place we are at now in democracy and that time will come when all that will change as democracy becomes fully established

Anybody faulting him should have their head checked! cheesy cheesy cheesy[/size]

Yeah i watchd it too,he didnt just make that statement. Why didnt the OP post everything he said ,that line was just part of what he said and not all he said.This is just the same reasoning y'all used to grab the Stealing is not corruption statement and turned it to anoda thing. If this is not propaganda ,then i wonder what propaganda really is.

All these APC touts has a dead brain just like their candidate. If you claimed to watch the program live on TV then you should as well reason along with Jang because he buttress that point rather than you to come and post just a single line out of what he said.
