KUANTAN – Pahang Investment, Industries, Science, Technology and Innovation Committee chairman Datuk Mohd Nizar Najib today denied that he was trying to topple the Pahang government through a meeting with opposition leaders.
The Peramu Jaya assemblyman and son of former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak said he will never be a defector and betray the state government led by Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Wan Rosdy Wan Ismail.
"He (Wan Rosdy) has also helped my voters in the Peramu Jaya area (Pekan) a lot.
“He is a kind-hearted and approachable leader, so how can I as an exco and assemblyman be tempted to betray him as a leader and the trust he has given (me),” he said in a statement today.
"My father Najib has always told me to be loyal to the party no matter how difficult our situation is. How could I conspire to betray the party that my family fought for together with other Umno members since it was established."
Nizar insisted he was not a “political frog” who is willing to sell his principles and dignity to the highest bidder.
"Enough of spreading slander for cheap political gain. The message is clear, I remain loyal to Umno, Barisan Nasional and the current state government," he added.
Allegations spread on social media that Nizar held a meeting with Pahang opposition leaders to topple the state government. – July 23, 2024
