PDP Governor breaks silence on rumour of joining APC
Jos – Plateau State Governor Caleb Mutfwang has again debunked the insinuation that he defected from the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, to join the All Progressives Congress, APC.
The rumour has been rife for sometime and the Governor insisted there was no such thing but a recent post on many social media platforms has resurrected the issue to the irk of the Governor.
He stated the ploy is an attempt by mischief makers to create confusion and cast doubt on his loyalty to the PDP.
His Director of Press and Public Affairs, Gyang Bere in a statement on Thursday evening noted, “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.”
He 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 and further reaffirmed his commitment to collaborating with the Federal Government, led by President Bola Tinubu, in the collective interest of Plateau State’s development.
