JUST IN: Plateau Governor, Mutfwang, joins APC

By Samuel Solomon

Plateau Governor, Caleb Mutfwang, has defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

The defection was announced by the National Chairman of the APC, Nentawe Yilwatda, during the party’s 14th National Caucus meeting held at the State House Conference Centre, Abuja.

Yilwatda, who hails from Plateau, disclosed that Mutfwang’s decision to join the APC further strengthens the party’s hold on the North-Central geopolitical zone.

“With the defection of Governor Mutfwang, the entire North-Central region is now governed by the APC,” the APC chairman said.

The development marks a major political shift in Plateau State and is expected to have significant implications for party alignments ahead of future elections.
