Governor Caleb Mutfwang of Plateau State has denied allegations of defecting to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
In a statement issued by the Director of Press and Public Affairs, Gyang Bere, the governor stated that the rumours were used to create division among the party.
He reassured the party of his commitment and vowed not to leave the group.
Part of the statement read, “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 father.”
The Governor promised to cooperate with the Federal Government led by President Tinubu to bring about more development in the state.
