The All Progressives Congress (APC) announces the defection of Plateau State Governor, Caleb Mutfwang, from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), describing the development as a major political shift in the state and the North-Central region.
According to Mediaplusng.com, the ruling party says Governor Mutfwang’s alleged move reflects growing acceptance of the APC’s policies and leadership under President Bola Tinubu. Party leaders say the development strengthens APC’s political base and signals wider realignments ahead of future elections.
The APC notes that Plateau State has remained politically strategic and says the governor’s defection, if confirmed, could reshape political dynamics in the state. The party adds that it remains open to working with leaders who share its vision of development, security, and economic growth.
Mediaplusng.com reports that the announcement has already generated strong reactions across the political space, with supporters and opposition figures debating its implications for governance and party loyalty in Plateau State.
Meanwhile, the Peoples Democratic Party has yet to issue an official response to the APC’s claim. Political observers say clarity is expected in the coming days, as Governor Mutfwang’s camp and party leadership respond to the announcement.
As the situation unfolds, analysts note that defections remain a key feature of Nigeria’s political landscape, often influencing alliances, governance priorities, and electoral outcomes at both state and national levels.
