Brazil visit: Plateau Govt slams APC for circulating video of Tinubu’s BRICS summit appearance
The Plateau State government has blasted the state chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC, for circulating an old video of President Bola Tinubu’s June 2025 BRICS summit appearance, which was presented as the President’s ongoing state visit to Brazil alongside Governor Caleb Mutfwang.
In a statement on Tuesday, the Special Adviser to Governor Mutfwang on Inter-Party Relations, John T. Akans, slammed the APC for circulating the old video, describing it as a shameful act of desperation coming from merchants of ignorance.
According to Akans, the action of the APC has once again exposed its ignorance, lack of credibility and desperation to mislead the public.
Akans explained that Mutfwang was officially invited as part of Tinubu’s delegation to Brazil, a visit aimed at strengthening Nigeria’s bilateral relations and opening fresh opportunities for economic and agricultural development.
He emphasized that that the inclusion of Mutfwang and Plateau State in the visit underscores the state’s rising influence in national policy direction and Africa’s agricultural transformation drive.
Akans also dismissed what he described as the pathetic and malicious tactics of the APC to discredit the Mutfwang administration, and accused the opposition of attempting to undermine Mutfwang’s achievements.
The governor’s SA also explained that all reputable national media platforms, alongside official presidential handles, had extensively covered the Brazil visit, detailing the President’s activities and the participation of his delegation.
He wondered how the APC could be so ignorant as to release the old video without doing a proper and simple fact-check before descending so low.
Akans warned that the people of Plateau must not fall for what he described as the APC’s politics of misinformation, mal-information, and dis-information while reassuring citizens that Mutfwang remains steadfast, visionary, and committed to driving Plateau’s progress and consolidating the state’s role in Nigeria’s economic future.
