KUANTAN: Pahang Investment, Industries, Science, Technology and Innovation Committee chairman Datuk Mohamad Nizar Najib denied claims that he is attempting to overthrow the Pahang government through meetings with opposition leaders.
The Peramu Jaya assemblyman stated he would never defect or betray the state government led by Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Wan Rosdy Wan Ismail.
“He (Wan Rosdy) has greatly assisted my voters in the Peramu Jaya area (Pekan). He is a kind-hearted and approachable leader. As an exco and assemblyman, I would never betray him or the trust he has placed in me,” said Mohamad Nizar in a statement on Tuesday (July 23).
“My father, Datuk Seri Najib Razak, always taught me to be loyal to the party, no matter the situation. How could I conspire to betray the party that my family and other Umno members have fought for since its establishment?”
Mohamad Nizar emphasised that he is not a “political frog” willing to sell his principles and dignity to the highest bidder.
“Stop spreading slander for cheap political gain. The message is clear: I remain loyal to Umno, Barisan Nasional and the current state government,” he added.
Social media allegations claimed that Mohamad Nizar held meetings with Pahang opposition leaders to topple the state government. – Bernama
