Former Governor of Plateau State, Senator Jonah David Jang has described the report of the transition committee set up by the incumbent Governor of the state, Mr Simon Lalong, in which he was alleged to have left a debt of N222.3bn as untrue.

He insistied that he left debts and liabilities of N103.9b.Observing the new debt figure paraded by the committee as mischievously manufactured, a statement signed by Barrister Olivia Dazyem, former Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice in the state, said the comprehensive breakdown of the debt is well documented in the handover notes and leaves no one in doubt.

He therefore urged the committee to go back and study the handover notes properly.

Describing the committee’s report as “a clear distortion and manipulation of facts, aimed at personal vendetta, witch-hunt and smearing the good name and achievements of the outgone PDP government led by Dr. Jonah David Jang”, Dazyem said “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.”
