Plateau State government in Nigeria has dismissed the persistent rumours claiming that Governor Caleb Mutfwang has defected to the Young Progressives Party (YPP).
In a statement released on Friday, the Director of Press and Public Affairs, Government House, Dr Gyang Bere, described the claim as “a blatant lie, a shameless concoction peddled by desperate mischief makers” aimed at creating confusion and misleading citizens.
The statement read: “Governor Mutfwang remains committed to his duties and has not defected to any party.
“Governor Mutfwang has not defected to the Young Progressives Party (YPP).
“Where and when there is any change in status, be assured that Governor Mutfwang will utilise official and verified communication channels to inform the people of Plateau State and all well-wishers.
“We urge supporters, well-wishers, and all patriotic citizens of Plateau State to disregard this falsehood in its entirety. Remain steadfast, vigilant, and united in the collective mission of safeguarding and advancing the Plateau project.
