The governor of Plateau State, Caleb Mutfwang, is set to formally join the All Progressives Congress (APC) on Friday, January 2, 2026.

Mutfwang had tendered his resignation from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in a letter dated December 29 addressed to the chairman of his Ampang West Ward, Mangu Local Government Area.

The letter reads, “I write to formally notify you of my resignation from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) with immediate effect.”

“Given the realities of the moment, and guided by my unwavering commitment to purposeful leadership, clarity of direction, and effective service delivery, I am compelled to seek an alternative political platform to participate in the political process,” he added.

Mutfwang expressed profound appreciation to the PDP for providing him with the platform to pursue his political aspirations and thanked party members and supporters for their steadfast loyalty and support over the years.

According to the governor, his decision to join the APC is a strategic and well-considered move taken in the overriding interest of the people of Plateau State. He noted that the step would better align the state’s development objectives with the policies and programmes of the Federal Government, thereby accelerating growth and delivering greater dividends of democracy to the people.

The governor reaffirmed his unwavering commitment to providing purposeful leadership, promoting inclusive governance, and championing unity across Plateau State, stressing that breaking barriers of division remains central to achieving collective growth and sustainable development.

The governor is expected to formalise his registration and receive the All Progressives Congress (APC) membership card.

The ceremony is expected to take place at Venue: Victoria Gowon Hall, Government House, Rayfield.

A statement signed by the Director of Press Affairs, Gyang Bere, said the governor will thereafter proceed to the Plateau State Secretariat of the APC at Kalwa House, Yakubu Gowon Way, Jos, where he will formally interface with party leaders and members.

The statement enjoined all party faithful, political associates, supporters, admirers, and well-wishers to attend and witness this occasion.
