The governor’s Director of Press and Public Affairs Dr. Gyang Bere, disclosed this in a press statement issued in Jos on Friday, September 20.

According to the statement, the social media post circulating a designed electronic flex banner featuring Mutfwang’s image and suggesting his defection to APC is misleading and false.

He added that the banner was said to have been mounted in Edo state as a baseless rumour, New Telegraph reports.

“The notion that he has contemplated leaving the PDP for the APC is entirely false, and the Governor affirms that he has never discussed with anyone about switching political parties."

The governor added that:

“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.”

He urged the public to disregard the rumour, adding that the sole aim of mischief-makers is to tarnish Governor Mutfwang’s reputation for their selfish political gain.
