Governor Caleb Mutfwang of Plateau State has officially defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The Plateau State Chairman of the APC, Mr Rufus Bature, formally presented the party’s membership card to the governor on Friday in Jos.
Speaking at the event, Mutfwang said his decision to join the APC was taken in the best interest of Plateau State. He assured residents that despite the change in political party, his administration would remain inclusive and focused on unity.
Describing his defection as a “journey of faith,” the governor expressed confidence that Plateau State would benefit from the alliance.
“I know there are skeptics, but I say be patient. Time will reveal everything,” he said.
“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.”
Mutfwang also expressed gratitude to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), his former party, for providing him with a platform to begin and grow his political career.
He stated that his move to the APC would further motivate him to deliver quality leadership and good governance to the people of Plateau State.
The governor equally thanked President Bola Tinubu for what he described as his deep love for Plateau State and pledged to support the president’s re-election bid in the 2027 general elections.
