The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), has announced the defection of Governor Caleb Mutfwang of Plateau State, from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
APC National Chairman, Nentawe Yelwata, who is also from Plateau, announced his governor’s defection at the party’s 14th national caucus meeting held at the State House Conference Centre, Abuja.
Yelwata said with the defection of Governor Mutfwang, the entire North Central is now governed by the APC.
The governor was elected under the PDP in the 2023 general elections and becomes the latest high-profile politician to dump the main opposition party.
APC’s Membership Drive
At the event, the APC chairman gave an ultimatum of January 30, 2026 for all members of the party to do their electronic membership registration.
He said the activation of electronic membership registration system, which had already started, would enhance transparency, data integrity and internal democracy.
