The Plateau State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party has condemned the All Progressives Congress for circulating a video on social media that it claims was intended to discredit Governor Caleb Mutfwang.
In a statement released on Sunday by the PDP’s Publicity Secretary, Hon. Jonathan Amande, the party described the video as a calculated attempt to malign the Governor by focusing on personal and private matters.
Amande said the content was not only distasteful but also exposed what he termed the APC’s disregard for ethics, truth, and political decency.
Amande further alleged that the opposition’s actions reflected moral failure and frustration, accusing the APC of descending to “the lowest of political rascality.”
“This barbaric display of hatred only reveals the depth of desperation and decay within the APC. Governor Mutfwang remains unshaken and committed to the noble task of rebuilding Plateau State,” the statement read.
He maintained that the video was part of a wider scheme to tarnish the image of the Governor, describing it as a “calculated attempt by its stakeholders to distract and diminish the glowing image of the people’s Governor.”
“It is shameful that a political party that once governed this state has degenerated to the level of trading in lies and personal attacks just to stay relevant,” he said.
The PDP in Plateau State reiterated its support for Governor Mutfwang, stating that he continues to demonstrate leadership rooted in integrity, compassion, and focus. According to the party, these attributes have earned him wide acceptance across ethnic, religious, and political lines. It noted that despite opposition attempts to malign his image, his commitment to transforming Plateau remains firm.
“The PDP calls on Plateau citizens to ignore the falsehoods being peddled by the APC and instead stand firm in support of the administration’s development drive in areas such as digital infrastructure, agricultural reforms, and youth empowerment.”
“We also call on APC stakeholders to stop the politics of bitterness and return to the table of ideas. The people of Plateau deserve progress, not propaganda; peace, not pollution of the mind.
“No amount of character assassination can stop the light of progress shining on Plateau under Governor Mutfwang’s leadership,” the statement added.
