Governor Caleb Mutfwang of Plateau State has officially joined the All Progressives Congress (APC), dealing another blow to the crisis-ridden opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The defection was formalised on Friday in Jos, where APC State Chairman Rufus Bature presented the governor with his membership card.
Speaking at the event, Mutfwang said his decision was taken in the interest of Plateau State. He promised to run an all-inclusive administration despite the change in party affiliation and urged citizens to remain united.
“The journey we are embarking on is a journey of faith, and I believe that Plateau will reap the dividends of this union,” he said.
Acknowledging skepticism among some residents, he added: “I know there are skeptics, but I say be patient. Time will reveal everything. To the fearful, I say take courage, fear no more, because we have come for good. We have come to join hands; we have come to work together. For those who may be apprehensive, relax.”
The governor expressed appreciation to the PDP, his former party, for providing him with a platform to launch his political career. He said his move to the APC would strengthen his resolve to deliver qualitative leadership to Plateau.
Mutfwang also thanked President Bola Tinubu for what he described as his “deep love” for Plateau State. He pledged to support Tinubu’s re-election bid in 2027, aligning himself with the ruling party’s agenda.
