Governor Caleb Mutfwang of Plateau State has officially joined the All Progressives Congress (APC), pledging an all-inclusive system and support for President Bola Tinubu’s 2027 re-election bid.
The governor received his APC membership card from the party’s Plateau State chairman, Rufus Bature, on Friday in Jos. Mutfwang said his defection was “in the interest of the state” and called on residents to unite despite the change in party affiliation.
“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. “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 expressed gratitude to members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), his former party, for providing a platform for his political career, while promising that his move to the APC would inspire “qualitative leadership” for the state.
He also thanked President Tinubu for his “deep love for Plateau State” and pledged to support his re-election campaign in 2027.
