The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Plateau State has dared Governor Caleb Mutfwang to reveal the identity of those who pressured him to dump the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and join the APC.
Naija News reports that Mutfwang had earlier claimed that he was pressured by some persons to leave the PDP for the APC.
Mutfwang accused some APC figures of being “afraid,” saying many within the party would actually welcome him if he chose to defect to the party.
“It is not a lie that they also put pressure on me. But I told them that only two people would authorise me to change parties. One is the God of heaven, then the other is you, the people,” he said.
Reacting to the governor’s claim, the APC acting publicity secretary in Plateau State, Shittu Bamaiyi, stated that the noise over the governors’ defection to APC would not have arisen if he performed to the people’s satisfaction in the state.
Bamaiyi said if Governor Mutfwang meant well for his supporters and the entire state, “he could have courageously told those who cared to listen who was pressuring him to defect to APC.
“Whatever may be the case, it is a big minus on the part of a sitting governor, for an opposition party to vehemently object to his joining its fold, when that party’s ultimate goal is to comfortably win the forthcoming elections,” he said.
