"PLATEAU DEBT PROFILE: REPORT ATTRIBUTED TO ME IS FAKE" - PLATEAU ACCOUNTANT GENERAL.
My attention has been drawn to a report making the rounds on social media purporting that I granted an interview wherein I allegedly said that Plateau State spends 1billion naira monthly to service loans incured by the administration of former Governor Jonah Jang.
The said report also claimed that I said that the former Governor left a debt of 222 billion naira.
Without giving this fake report any undue attention, it is imperative for me to refute this fake and concocted story, lest my silence is taken for consent.
I wish to state categorically that I never granted any interview to anyone (journalist or otherwise) on the said subject matter, talk more of being quoted verbatim.
Members of the public will notice that this fabrication is clearly the work of mischief makers as there is no name of the author, or the place, time, and occasion where I allegedly granted the said interview.
I therefore urge right thinking Members of society especially the people of Plateau State to ignore the said report which is fake, untrue and an imagination of those who aim to bring myself and the Government that I serve into needless controversy and disrepute.
I advise those behind this mischief to desist from engaging in this falsehood because it will do them no good.
Cyril Tsenyil, Ph.D
Accountant General,
Plateau State.
