Plateau State Governor Caleb Mutfwang has refuted rumours claiming that he has defected to the All Progressives Congress.
In a statement issued by his Director of Press and Public Affairs, Gyang Bere, Mutfwang described the rumours as baseless, accusing mischief makers and divisive agents of spreading false information.
The governor took the opportunity to reaffirm his unwavering commitment to the People’s Democratic Party, emphasizing that he has never contemplated leaving the party for any other political group. Mutfwang specifically condemned the doctored content circulating online, which falsely portrayed him alongside APC governors, allegedly preparing to welcome President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to Edo State.
He noted that the fabrication was a deliberate attempt to create confusion and undermine his loyalty to the PDP.
The governor reiterated his firm dedication to serving Plateau State through the PDP, the party through which he was elected.
Mutfwang further assured PDP members in Plateau and the North Central Zone that consultations with key stakeholders are ongoing to address any challenges facing the party in the region. He also highlighted the success of the recent PDP Governors’ meeting hosted in Plateau State, noting that it reflected the party’s core values of equity, justice, and fairness, as envisioned by its founders.
While reaffirming his loyalty to the PDP, Governor Mutfwang also expressed his willingness to collaborate with the federal government, led by President Tinubu, for the advancement of Plateau State’s development.
