Plateau State Governor, Caleb Mutfwang, has officially defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The governor was formally received into the APC on Friday in Jos, where the state chairman of the party, Mr. Rufus Bature, presented him with his membership card.
Speaking at the event, Mutfwang said his decision to join the APC was taken in the interest of Plateau State, assuring residents that his administration would remain inclusive despite the change in party.
Describing the move as a defining moment, the governor called on the people of the state 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.
“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, like I said earlier, relax,” he said.
Mutfwang expressed appreciation to members of the PDP, his former party, for providing him with a platform for his political journey.
He noted that his defection to the APC would further spur him to deliver qualitative leadership and deepen development across the state.
The governor also thanked President Bola Tinubu for what he described as his deep love for Plateau State and pledged his support for the President’s re-election bid in 2027.
