The former Governor of Plateau State, Senator Jonah Jang, has distanced himself from a recent media report which alleged that he advised the incumbent Governor, Caleb Mutfwang, to resign from his position.
Speaking through his Media Consultant, Clinton Garuba, in the State capital, Jang made it clear that he finds it absurd for anyone to even entertain the thought of him advising Governor Mutfwang to step down. According to Jang, Governor Mutfwang has been instrumental in elevating the governance standards and handing over to individuals who have previously failed the citizens would be preposterous.
Addressing the misleading publication, Jang’s Media Consultant stated, “Our attention has just been drawn to a publication alleging that Senator Jonah David Jang advised Governor Caleb Mutfwang to resign, among other fabricated stories in what can be best described as daydreaming. We initially wanted to ignore the publication, believing strongly that readers would easily pick holes in the story and disregard the falsehood being deliberately peddled, knowing the integrity of the former governor and his love for democracy and good governance, which has been the hallmark of Barrister Caleb Mutfwang government since assuming office on the 29th of May, 2023, but for the misleading statement and the fact that some gullible readers will mistake it for truth. To avoid doubt, the entire write-up is completely false and only exists in the writer’s imagination.”
Moreover, Jang emphasized the need to remain peaceful amidst the controversy surrounding the judiciary and its recent decision. He expressed his confidence in the ultimate reversal of the decision, calling for unity and trust in divine intervention during these challenging times.
Furthermore, he called on the people of the State to remain peaceful and calm, and channel their energies into praying to God. “Yahweh will not fail us, and we trust in him alone,” he affirmed.
Senator Jonah Jang’s proactive response to the misleading report and his poignant call for peace has resonated with many, especially during these uncertain times in Plateau State.
