Ex-Plateau Governor Refutes Claims of Urging Mutfwang’s Resignation

Former Plateau State governor and senator, Jonah Jang, has rejected claims that he called on Governor Caleb Mutfwang to resign following his reported defection from one political party to another.

In a statement released through his media aide in Jos, Jang described the reports circulating in sections of the media as inaccurate and misleading, insisting that his comments were taken out of context.

According to the statement, Jang never demanded the governor’s resignation at any point during a meeting of party stakeholders. Instead, he expressed concern over the broader trend of politicians frequently switching political parties.

The former governor clarified that his remarks were aimed at criticising political opportunism and the weakening of party ideology, not targeting the sitting governor personally.

He urged the public to disregard reports suggesting otherwise, stressing that attributing such statements to him misrepresents his position and distorts the substance of his comments.
