Former governor of Plateau state, Senator Jonah David Jang, has insisted he
left N103.95 billon debt when he vacated office on May 29, 2015.
The handover committee set-up by incumbent Governor Simon Lalong recently
submitted its report, alleging that ex-Gov. Jang lied in his handover notes,
having left a debt burden of over N222bn, and not N103.95bn.
In a statement signed by Ex-Gov. Jang’s former Attorney General, Barr. Olyvıa
Dazyam, the former governor, however, said that either the committee did not
adequately study the hand over notes, or if it did, then deliberate chose to
indulge in misinformation, vendetta and witch-hunt aimed at ridiculing the
immediate past PDP government.
He insisted that the handover notes contain a comprehensive breakdown of
debts and liabilities of N103,956,933,452.96, with N19.7bn as the state’s
indebtedness to commercial banks, adding that the balance is for bond
refinancing, inter-agency loans and liabilities.
