Governor Caleb Mutfwang of Plateau State has denied recognition to the Young Progressives Party (YPP).
The governor, in a statement signed by the Director of Press and Public Affairs, described the claim circulating on social media as false and misleading.
He labelled the claim as a blatant lie and a shameless concoction orchestrated by what he described as desperate mischief makers.
“Let it be stated without ambiguity: this claim is a blatant lie, a shameless concoction peddled by desperate mischief makers whose only intent is to stoke disaffection, sow confusion, and mislead the peace-loving citizens of Plateau State,” Mutfwang said.
He noted that such a baseless and poorly scripted fabrication ordinarily would not warrant a response, but said he felt compelled to clarify the matter to prevent the public from being misled.

Mutfwang affirmed he has not defected to the YPP and remained fully focused on his administration’s mandate.
He emphasised his unwavering commitment to delivering the dividends of democracy to the people of Plateau State, as seen in his people-centred projects and development initiatives.
The governor reassured the public that any potential change in his political status would be communicated through official and verified channels.
He urged citizens, supporters, and well-wishers to disregard this falsehood in its entirety and remain steadfast, vigilant, and united in the collective mission of safeguarding and advancing the Plateau project.
Mutfwang said his purposeful and visionary leadership has ensured the state remains safe, stable, and steadily rising brighter, stronger, and more resilient.
