Yilwatda officially receives Gov Mutfwang into APC
Plateau State Governor, Caleb Mutfwang, has formally defected to the All Progressives Congress, APC, marking a major political shift in the state.
The governor’s move to the ruling party was made public on Friday by the National Chairman of the APC, Nentawe Yilwatda, through a post on social media.
Welcoming Mutfwang, Yilwatda described the defection as a significant gain for the APC, noting that it further strengthens the party’s growing political influence across the country.
He expressed confidence that the governor’s entry into the party would add value to its leadership and grassroots support.
“On behalf of the National Working Committee and the entire family of the All Progressives Congress, I warmly welcome His Excellency, Governor Caleb Mutfwang, into our great party, the APC.
“Your decision to join the progressive family is a bold and patriotic step, driven by a higher calling to serve the people of Plateau State and Nigeria.
“Today’s registration is a statement of hope and a commitment to a shared vision of inclusive development, peace, and prosperity for Plateau State.
“We receive you with open arms and a deep sense of partnership, and I assure you of our collective resolve to work closely with you, hand in hand to advance the interests of Plateau State, strengthen our party, and deliver meaningful dividends of democracy to our people,” Yilwatda said.
The Very Nigerian had reported that Mutfwang had announced his resignation from the party amid rumoured plans to join the ruling All Progressives Congress.
