Plateau State Governor, Caleb Mutfwang, has described the allegation that some aspirants were imposed during the All Progressives Congress (APC) senatorial primary elections as baseless and lies from the pit of hell.
PrimeTimes Nigeria reports that Mutfwang, in a statement through his Director of Press and Public Affairs (DOPA), Gyang Bere, denied imposing aspirants and candidates in any election and will not start now.
Mutfwang said he was known for fair play and a democratic disposition even when he was in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The Governor further urged the general public to disregard the rumours, which he said do not reflect his peaceful and democratic disposition or his consistent call for free, fair, and credible elections across Plateau State.
The statement read, “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.
“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.”
