Governor Caleb Mutfwang of Plateau State has reaffirmed his commitment to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), debunking rumors of his defection to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

“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.
“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.”
The governor emphasized that the people of Plateau State view the PDP as their trusted political platform for leadership, and the idea that he has considered leaving it for the APC is completely untrue.
He urged the public to “disregard the actions of these detractors, whose sole aim is to tarnish the governor’s reputation for their selfish political gain. 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”.
He asserted that the fabricated story was the handiwork of individuals with ill intentions for the state.
According to him, the falsehood was designed to sow discord within the PDP and among the people of Plateau State, who had entrusted him with leadership.
