Plateau State governor, Barr. Caleb Mutfwang, has unequivocally dismissed rumours circulating on social media that he had perfected plans to defect to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Mutfwang, in a terse press statement issued in Jos by the director of press and public affairs in the Governor’s office, Mr. Gyang Bere, 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 Tinubu to Edo State.

According to the statement, 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.

He also reassured PDP members in Plateau State and the North-Central zone that consultations with critical stakeholders were ongoing to resolve lingering issues affecting the party in the zone.

While highlighting the success of the recent PDP Governors Forum meeting hosted in Plateau State, the governor emphasized that it reflected the principles of equity, justice, and fairness envisioned by the party’s founding fathers.

Governor Mutfwang further reaffirmed his commitment to collaborating with the Federal Government, led by President Tinubu, in the collective interest of Plateau State’s development.
