The North‑Central All Progressives Congress (APC) Forum has officially welcomed Plateau State Governor Caleb Mutfwang to the party after his recent defection from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). In a statement released by the Forum’s chairman, Alhaji Saleh Zazzaga, members urged Governor Mutfwang to prioritize unity and progress, steering clear of the divisive ethnic and religious agendas that marked his time in the PDP.
The Forum, which brings together APC stakeholders from the six North‑Central states, expressed confidence in the governor’s ability to elevate the party and affirmed that his defection serves the best interests of the people of Plateau. It called on him to work closely with President Bola Tinubu and to unite Plateau’s citizens regardless of ethnic or religious differences.
According to the statement, the Forum’s campaign to persuade Governor Mutfwang to join the APC was motivated by a desire to foster an environment where unity thrives and sectarian divisions are set aside. The group noted that some officials in his former administration promoted divisive agendas, and that his move to the APC offers an opportunity to distance himself from such influences.
The North‑Central APC Forum urged the governor to lead his administration free from undue influence and to focus on the development of Plateau State. It also encouraged him to embrace President Tinubu’s “Renewed Hope” agenda and to ensure that the dividends of democracy reach all citizens.
Despite facing intimidation during their campaign, the Forum persisted, confident that Governor Mutfwang’s defection would strengthen the party and benefit the people of Plateau. The group had previously endorsed President Tinubu for another term and pledged to deliver six million votes in 2027, viewing the governor’s defection as a key factor in achieving that goal.
With Governor Mutfwang’s formal entry into the APC, the party is expected to gain strength in the region, and the Forum’s efforts are likely to have a significant impact on the state’s political landscape. As he begins his new chapter in the APC, the governor is expected to prioritize unity, progress, and development, working closely with President Tinubu and the people of Plateau State to achieve these objectives.
