The Plateau State Governor, Caleb Mutfwang, has firmly dismissed allegations that he forced certain individuals on the All Progressives Congress (APC) during the party’s senatorial primary elections. His Director of Press and Public Affairs, Gyang Bere, labeled the accusations as false and inflammatory, characterizing them as fabrications from malicious sources.
Bere emphasized that Mutfwang has never engaged in the practice of imposing aspirants or candidates, a stance he maintained even during his tenure in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). The governor’s commitment to democratic principles and fair play remains unchanged, and he continues to advocate for transparent and credible electoral processes.
In a statement released on Tuesday, the governor’s office urged the public and party members to ignore the unfounded rumors. According to Bere, Mutfwang has consistently called for peaceful conduct throughout the electoral process, prioritizing the peace, unity, and stability of Plateau State.
Bere further noted that the governor described the reports as baseless and misleading, reiterating his long-standing commitment to free and fair elections. The statement concluded by urging all stakeholders to disregard the claims completely, as they do not align with Mutfwang’s record of promoting democratic values and ensuring a level playing field for all candidates.
