loyal to the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, dismissing rumours of him joining
the All Progressives Congress, APC.
A social media report had gone viral containing an
electronic flex banner with the governor’s image suggesting his defection to
the APC.
Responding in a statement, the Director of Press and Public
Affairs to the Governor, Gyang Bere, described the reports as misleading.
According to him, the governor firmly upholds the party’s values
and the trust placed in him by the people of Plateau State who overwhelmingly
elected him in the 2023 elections under the PDP.
Bere said while this baseless rumour does not warrant a
formal response, it has become necessary to dispel any misconceptions that may
mislead the public and to preserve the governor’s integrity.
He added that the governor acknowledged that the people of
Plateau State regard the PDP as their trusted political platform for leadership
and the notion that he has contemplated leaving it for APC is entirely false.
He urged the public to disregard the actions of the
detractors, with the sole aim of tarnishing the governor’s reputation for their
selfish political gain, adding that Governor Mutfwang has not authorized anyone
to create or circulate any such flex banner, and he remains steadfast in his
commitment to the PDP and the people of Plateau State.
“This orchestrated falsehood, crafted by certain individuals
and executed by mischief-makers, is aimed at creating division between the
governor and the leadership of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), as well as
his dedicated supporters in Plateau State,” the statement read.
