Immediate Past Governor of Plateau State, Dr Jonah Jang has described the report of the transition committee set up by the administration of Governor Simon Lalong as a distortion and manipulation of facts aimed at personal vendetta.
The transition committee stated that the former Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) -led government in the state left a debt of N222.3 billion.
Jang in a statement issued by his former State Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Mr Olivia Dayzem explained that the report is a false allegation because his government only left a debt of government only left debts and liabilities of N103.9 billion.
He said “The report is a clear distortion and manipulation of facts, aimed at personal vendetta, witch-hunt and smearing the good name and achievements of the outgone PDP-led government by former Governor Jang.
“A quick look at the compositions of the committees reveals that they were deliberately selected and made up of persons that have grudges with the immediate past administration.
“The committee itself clearly reveals its inadequacies, in view of its recommendations for set up of a more specialised technical or audit committees to conduct further investigation.
“This, therefore, means that the report is at its best a draft that lacks the relevant technical and professional inputs. How can such a draft report be implemented?”
He urged the APC led administration to focus on developing the state rather than picking holes in the previous administration.
