Gov Mutfwang dumps PDP, to join APC Friday 

Plateau State Governor, Caleb Mutfwang, has formally resigned his membership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and is set to join the All Progressives Congress (APC) on Friday.

This is coming barely two weeks after the APC National Chairman, Nentawe Yilwatda, announced that the governor has joined the APC.

There have been claims and counter-claims regarding his plan to join the APC, but upon Yilwatda’s announcement, all contending issues were resolved.

In a letter of resignation dated December 29, 2025, addressed to the Ward Chairman of the PDP, Ampang West Ward, Mangu Local Government Area of the state, Governor Mutfwang formally announced his withdrawal from the party with immediate effect.

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

“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,” added.

The governor also expressed profound appreciation to the PDP for providing him 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 added 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.

In an additional statement made available to newsmen on Thursday by the Director of Press and Public Affairs to the Governor, Gyang Bere, 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 formal registration and presentation of the APC membership card to Governor Mutfwang, according to Gyang Bere, will take place on Friday at the Victoria Gowon Hall, Government House, Rayfield.

Bere noted that the governor would proceed to the Plateau State Secretariat of the All Progressives Congress (APC) at Kalwa House, Yakubu Gowon Way, Jos, where he will formally interface with party leaders and members.

“All party faithful, political associates, supporters, admirers, and well-wishers are cordially urged to attend and witness this historic occasion,” Bere added.
