Coalition Seals the Deal: Plateau Governor Mutfwang’s Defection to APC Confirmed

By Asile Abel, Jos

A group under the banner of the Coalition for Democratic Sustainability and Good Governance (CDSGG) has emphatically stated that the defection of Plateau State Governor, Barr. Caleb Mutfwang, from the PDP to the APC has been sealed.

It will be recalled that recently there have been growing agitations and debates within public and media circles regarding Governor Mutfwang’s possible defection to the APC.

The CDSGG says that the question of whether Mutfwang is defecting to the APC is no longer a mere rhetorical question, as the deal has already been sealed.

According to the coalition’s spokesman, Hon. Nurudeen Inuwa, they are aware of several meetings held between Governor Mutfwang and the APC’s national leadership, including President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

“In a few days’ time, we expect the Governor to obtain an APC membership card from his ward. We have made a non-partisan appeal for a seamless transition of Governor Caleb Mutfwang to the All Progressives Congress (APC).”

The coalition emphasizes that the move is a pragmatic realignment designed to protect Plateau State’s interests and strengthen its relationship with the federal government.

“Governor Mutfwang’s defection presents an opportunity to unlock federal goodwill, accelerate development, and restore Plateau’s voice at the national table.”

Inuwa appeals to stakeholders in both the PDP and the APC to engineer a soft landing mechanism to ensure a transition devoid of bitterness and rancor.

“We expect a public reaffirmation of commitment to Plateau’s development agenda through a bipartisan ‘Plateau Development Compact.’ Protect the political space and ensure no victimization or exclusion of citizens.”

The coalition emphasizes that Plateau State’s collective peace, investor confidence, governance continuity, and people’s dignity and unity are at stake.

“We urge elders and stakeholders to guide this moment toward progressive consensus and choose the legacy of unity, strategic stability, and Plateau State’s prosperity.”
