Plateau State Governor, Barr. Caleb Mutfwang, has described as baseless and defamatory allegations circulated by certain individuals, accusing judges of receiving $5 million bribe for the nullification of his victory.
A statement on Friday by Gyang Bere, Director of Press and Public Affairs to the Governor vehemently condemned the publication and attributed it to deliberate actions of detractors aimed at sowing discord between him and esteemed judges and other constituted authorities.
Indeed, Governor Mutfwang demanded for thorough investigations by security agencies to identify and apprehend those responsible for the libelous publication.
He emphasized the need to ensure that these individuals face the full wrath of the law with a view to setting a precedent that discourages similar misconduct.
Governor Mutfwang unequivocally distanced himself from the false narrative, dismissing it as mere fabrications crafted by individuals who are being manipulated as pawns by the opposition party in Plateau State.
The Governor noted that “the latest move is an attempt to tarnish the image of the PDP Government in the state, such malicious actions will not deter my commitment and confidence in the Judiciary”.
Reaffirming his unwavering support for the judiciary, Governor Mutfwang warned those disparaging the justices and respected leaders, to desist from their destructive activities immediately or face the severe consequences of their actions.
