The former Governor of Plateau State, Sen. Jonah Jang, has denied calling for the resignation of Gov. Caleb Mutfwang over his recent defection from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Jang made the denial in a statement by his spokesperson, Clinton Garuba, on Monday in Jos.
The media aide said the former governor described the reports making the rounds in some sections of the media as misleading, adding that Jang was quoted out of context.
He said “the report attempts to portray him as calling on Governor Caleb Mutfwang to resign following his defection from the PDP to the APC.
“For clarity, at no time during the PDP stakeholders’ meeting did he call for Mutfwang’s resignation.
“Rather, he criticised politicians for leaving their parties to join others,” Garuba said.
Garuba said the former governor called on the residents of the state to disregard such reports and continue to support the governor to succeed.
