The Plateau State Governor, Caleb Mutfwang, has dismissed a rumour about his planned switch to the All Progressives Congress (APC). A flex banner with the picture of the governor suggesting his defection from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the APC has surfaced on social media. One of the banners was also mounted in a strategic location in Benin City, Edo State.
However, in a statement issued on Friday in Jos by his Director of Press and Public Affairs, Mr. Gyang Bere, the governor said the move was the handiwork of his political detractors and mischief makers who were determined to cause acrimony between him and the leadership of PDP.

”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.” Opinions Balanced, fearless journalism driven by data comes at huge financial costs.
