Plateau State Governor Caleb Mutfwang is set to formally join the All Progressives Congress (APC) on Friday, January 2, 2026, following his resignation from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
In a resignation letter dated December 29, 2025, addressed to the PDP Ward Chairman of Ampang West in Mangu Local Government Area, Mutfwang cited the need for “purposeful leadership and clarity of direction” as the reason for his immediate departure from the party. He also expressed gratitude to the PDP and its members for their support over the years.
Explaining his decision to join the APC, the governor said the move is strategic, aimed at aligning Plateau State with the Federal Government’s policies to accelerate development and deliver greater dividends of democracy to the people.
Mutfwang reaffirmed his commitment to inclusive governance and unity, stressing that his defection would foster stability and fast-track growth across the state.
The official registration and presentation of his APC membership card will take place at Victoria Gowon Hall, Government House, Rayfield, by 11:00 a.m. Following this, he is scheduled to visit the APC State Secretariat at Kalwa House, Jos, to meet with party leaders and supporters.
