The Plateau State Governirship Candidate of Peoples Democratic Party Barr Caleb Mutfwang has denied allegation by his state governor Simon Lalong that he Mutfwang left Mangu LGA as it’s Executive Chairman with 10 months Salary arrears.
Mutfwang told his party faithfuls at Wase Town Hall meeting that he (Mutfwang)
was not responsible for the payment of workers’ salaries during his tenure in office.
According to him, Lalong has run a government of deceits in the last eight years where he illegally dissolved elected local government Chairmen
The PDP candidate urged citizens to ignore Lalong and assured civil servants that his administration would consider their welfare and payment of salaries as a topmost priority if elected into office as he said, “The Governor of Plateau State was in Wase and he did not have anything to campaign on, except telling lies against Caleb Mutfwang. I want to challenge Governor Lalong in the same Wase, that if he is not a coward, let him produce the documents that prove that I did not pay salaries for 10 months as local government chairman…”
He explained that at the time he was in office, the Local Government Service Commission under Fabian Ntung, the current Chairman of Plateau State Independent Electoral Commission (PLASIEC) was responsible for the payment of Local Government workers in the 17 LGAs
He added that Lalong who is a lawyer unlawfully removed elected Council Chairmen who was only one year and three months in the office instead of a three-year tenure ay still owing him and other Chairmen two months salary arrears.
Mutfwang assured Plateau citizens of “competent leadership, security, and good governance where the welfare of citizens and civil servants would be given topmost priority.”
Similarly, while at the Shendam town hall meeting, Barr. Mutfwang flanked by his running mate Mrs. Josephine Piyo, promised to provide the kind of leadership that would be responsive to the needs of the people.
The high point of the town hall meeting was the reconciliation of aggrieved Party members. The team had earlier visited prominent traditional rulers in the locality.
