Plateau State Governor Caleb Mutfwang has once again refuted widespread rumours that he has defected from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The rumours, which have been circulating for some time, resurfaced recently on various social media platforms, prompting the Governor to speak out against them.
Mutfwang dismissed the claims as false and part of a deliberate effort by mischief-makers to create confusion and question his loyalty to the PDP.
In a statement issued by his Director of Press and Public Affairs, Gyang Bere, on Thursday evening, Governor Mutfwang said, “There is absolutely no truth to the rumours circulating online that I have joined the APC. These claims are the work of divisive elements looking to mislead the public about my political allegiance and my commitment to the PDP.”
The Governor also condemned the spread of doctored images that falsely showed him alongside APC governors, allegedly preparing to welcome President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to Edo State.
Mutfwang clarified that this fabrication was designed to create doubt about his loyalty to the PDP.
He reiterated his unwavering dedication to serving Plateau State under the platform of the PDP, the party through which he was elected.
Governor Mutfwang further emphasized that he has never considered leaving the PDP.
The Governor assured PDP members in Plateau State and the North Central Zone that ongoing consultations are taking place to address any concerns within the party.
He also reiterated his commitment to working with the federal government, under President Bola Tinubu, for the development of Plateau State.
