It Is Not Within My Office To Make Such A Declaration – Mutfwang’s Aide Clears Air On Fulani Comment

Shipi, an aide to Governor Mutfwang, addressed the controversy surrounding alleged comments about the Fulani community. Shipi clarified that he did not make the statement attributed to him, emphasizing that it is not within his office's mandate to make such declarations.

He explained that the misunderstanding may have arisen from a misinterpretation of his Hausa language use, specifically the phrase "yan kasa," which he said was meant to promote peace and cooperation among all residents of Plateau State. Shipi expressed regret over the misrepresentation of his words and apologized to anyone who may have been offended.

He urged residents to move past the controversy and focus on building lasting peace in the state, emphasizing that his intention was not to cause harm or disharmony.
