Real Reason I Defected to APC – PDP Plateau Gov. Mutfwang

92

In a move he claims is for the greater good of Plateau State, Governor Caleb Mutfwang of the People’s Democratic Party has formally joined the APC.

The Governor received his party membership card from State Chairman Rufus Bature on Friday, December 2.

Addressing the public in Jos, Mutfwang emphasized that his administration would remain inclusive despite the change in party and called for statewide unity as he embarks on this new political chapter.

“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.

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

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

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