Plateau governor joins APC, obtains membership card

Plateau State Governor Caleb Mutfwang has officially joined the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

The APC Chairman in Plateau State, Rufus Bature, presented the membership card of the party to Mutfwang in Jos, the state capital, on Friday, January 2, 2026.

Speaking at the event, Mutfwang said his defection to the APC was in the interest of the state.

The governor, who promised an all-inclusive system in spite of the change in party, called on the people of the state to unite at all times.

Mutfwang said: “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.”

The governor thanked the members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), his former party, for providing him with a platform for his political journey.

He said his defection to the APC would spur him to provide qualitative leadership to the state.

Mutfwang, who thanked President Bola Tinubu for his love towards Plateau State, promised to support his re-election bid in 2027.
