‘Lies from the pit of hell’ – Gov Mutfwang denies alleged imposition of senatorial aspirants

Governor of Plateau, Caleb Mutfwang, has dismissed allegations that he imposed some aspirants during the All Progressives Congress, APC, senatorial primary elections.

Describing the allegations as baseless and “lies from the pit of hell”, the Governor’s Director of Press and Public Affairs, DOPA, Gyang Bere, said Mutfwang has never imposed aspirants and candidates in any election and will not start now as he has been known for fair play and democratic disposition even when he was in the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

In a statement on Tuesday debunking the allegations, Bere urged the general public to disregard the rumours which he said do not reflect the Governor’s peaceful and democratic disposition as well as his consistent call for free, fair, and credible elections across Plateau State.

“The Governor, His Excellency Barr. Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang has never imposed any political aspirant or candidate against the wishes of the people and will not start now,” Bere said.

“We urge members of the public and party faithful to disregard the fabricated statement in its entirety.

“The Governor has always enjoined party faithful to adhere strictly to the principles of peaceful conduct throughout the electoral process, stressing that the peace, unity, and stability of Plateau remain the utmost priority of his administration.

“The Governor has described the reports as fabricated, false, and misleading. The state government urges the public and party faithful to disregard the claims entirely as Governor Mutfwang has always reiterated his long-standing position for free, fair, and credible electoral processes across Plateau State,” the statement stressed.
