*This fabricated story is the work of those who do not wish Plateau well – Mutfwang
By Ibrahim Ahmadu
Governor Caleb Mutfwang of Plateau State has denied the rumours circulating in the social media alleging that he is planning to dump the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The governor denied the rumour in a statement by Mr Gyang Bere, his Director of Press and Public Affairs (DOPPA), issued on Friday in Jos.
There is a flex banner with the picture of the governor being circulated in the social media, suggesting his defection to the APC.
One of the banners is also mounted in a strategic location in Benin City, Edo State.
However, the governor said that the move was the handiwork of his political detractors and mischief makers, aimed at breeding acrimony between him and the leadership of PDP.
”While this baseless rumour does not warrant a formal response, it has become necessary to dispel any misconceptions that may mislead the public and tarnish my integrity.
”I remain a committed member of the PDP and firmly uphold the values of the party and trust placed on me by the people of Plateau.
”The rumour that I’m contemplating leaving the PDP for the APC is entirely false.
”This fabricated story is the work of those who do not wish Plateau well.
”I wish to call on the public to dismiss the rumour and refrain from sharing the false information,” Mutfwang said.
