The gubernatorial candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in Plateau State, Barrister Caleb Muftwang, has stated that the debt profile of the state, which is close to N250 billion, will not be a barrier to development if he is elected governor of the state.
Even as the governorship candidate alleged plans by the APC administration in the state to bounce back through rigging during the election.
Addressing newsmen in Jos, Plateau State, Muftwang said his government, if elected on Saturday, would evolve sound economic strategies that will revitalize the state and make it self-sustainable instead of solely depending on monthly allocation, adding that agriculture will be given a priority.
His words: “The debt will be given attention; we are coming with a pedigree.” I’m sure that they know what we mean and what we say. We will turn around the debt burden of Plateau State and ensure that by the time we are through with the four years, we will be in a much better place to guarantee the future of our people.”
On the Saturday election, Barrister Muftwang alleged plans by the APC administration in the state to bounce back through rigging during the election and charge the electorate
to rise up as a people and resist them using every lawful means at their disposal.
“I urge everyone to take responsibility by encouraging every registered voter around them to come out and vote.” “After voting, wait until the votes are counted, announced, and uploaded on the BVAS machine,” he said.
He advised the people to watch out for agents of violence who have been sent to foment trouble in order to get the results of their polling units canceled and create situations of overvoting, adding that only accredited voters by BVAS machine must vote.
Mutfwang said the APC knew that they could not come close to victory unless they took them out of the ballots, stressing that since they had no project to commission, they commissioned their paid agents to spread falsehood and fabricated the existence of a court judgment that they claimed would deny the PDP ultimate victory.
“Let me assure the good people of Plateau State that this alleged victory-snatching judgment only exists in the figment of their imagination. They will not succeed in their mischief. “All the cases regarding the legitimacy of the PDP executive committee for Plateau State have no bearing whatsoever on the primaries that produced PDP candidates,” he said.
According to him, another lie fabricated out of their factory is the allegation that the former Chairman of Mangu Local Government Council allegedly failed to pay salaries of workers for 10 months and challenged them to release the documents or be prepared to meet him in court.
