Plateau State’s Governor Caleb Mutfwang has officially joined the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), after dumping the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).
Mutfwang said that his defection was in the interest of the state.
Chairman of APC in the state, Mr. Rufus Bature, presented the membership card of the party to the governor on Friday in Jos, the state capital.
Mutfwang, while speaking at the event, promised an all-inclusive system in spite of the change in party, calling on the people of the state to unite at all times.
“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 said.
Governor Mutfwang expressed his appreciation to members of PDP, his former party, for providing him with a platform for his political journey, assuring that his defection to the APC would spur him to provide qualitative leadership to the state.
The Governor equally thanked President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for his deep love for Plateau State, promising to support his re-election bid in 2027.
