Governor Caleb Mutfwang of Plateau State has firmly denied rumors that he plans to leave the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the All Progressives Congress (APC). He has assured his supporters that these reports are false and should be ignored.
In a statement released on Thursday by his Director of Press and Public Affairs, Gyang Bere, Governor Mutfwang explained that a picture circulating on social media, showing him with APC governors preparing for President Bola Tinubu’s visit to Edo State, is also fake. He called these reports lies and urged the public not to be misled by misinformation.
“Governor Caleb Mutfwang, has unequivocally dismissed rumours circulating on social media that he has defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC). Governor Mutfwang described the claims as the handiwork of mischief makers and agents of division, aimed at misleading the public about his political allegiance and unwavering commitment to the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).
“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. He pointed out that the fabrication was a deliberate ploy to create confusion and cast doubt on his loyalty to the PDP.
“Governor Mutfwang reiterated his steadfast dedication to serving the people of Plateau State under the PDP, the platform through which he earned the people’s mandate. He categorically stated that he has never contemplated leaving the PDP for any other political Party,” the statement read.
The Governor emphasized his unwavering loyalty to the PDP and reassured the people of Plateau State and the North Central Zone that efforts are underway to address any issues within the party. He stated that consultations with key stakeholders are ongoing, aimed at resolving any concerns affecting the PDP in the region.
Governor Mutfwang also affirmed his commitment to working with the federal government, led by President Bola Tinubu, to ensure the development of Plateau State. He encouraged his supporters to stay focused on the progress of the state and to continue supporting the PDP.
