Plateau State Governor Caleb Mutfwang has denied the rumours suggesting that he has defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
In a statement released by his Director of Press and Public Affairs, Gyang Bere, the governor described the claims as the work of mischief makers and agents of division.
Mutfwang used the opportunity to declare his commitment to the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), stating that he has never considered leaving the party for any other political party.
“The Governor specifically condemned the doctored content being circulated, which falsely depicted his image alongside APC governors, purportedly preparing to welcome President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to Edo State.
“The fabrication was a deliberate ploy to create confusion and cast doubt on his loyalty to the PDP. Governor Mutfwang has reiterated his steadfast dedication to serving the people of Plateau State under the PDP, the platform through which he earned the people’s mandate.
“Mutfwang has categorically stated that he has never contemplated leaving the PDP for any other political party, and also reassured PDP members in Plateau State and the North Central Zone that consultations with critical stakeholders are ongoing to resolve lingering issues affecting the party in the zone.
“Highlighting the success of the recent PDP Governors’ meeting hosted in Plateau State, the Governor has emphasized that it reflected the principles of equity, justice, and fairness envisioned by the party’s founding fathers,” the statement partly read.
While reaffirming his loyalty to the PDP, Mutfwang also committed to collaborating with the Federal Government, led by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, in the collective interest of Plateau State’s development.
