Plateau State Governor, Caleb Mutfwang, has been formally presented with the All Progressives Congress (APC) membership card.
The governor received the card, marked 001, at a ceremony held at the Government House in Jos.
The event, which took place at the Victoria Gowon Hall, drew a large gathering of APC stakeholders, party leaders, and prominent political figures from within and outside the state.
The presentation of the membership card to the governor marks a significant moment in Plateau State’s political history.
The ceremony underscored the growing influence of the APC in the state.
Party leaders and supporters at the event said the development signalled a new phase in Plateau State politics, with expectations of stronger party cohesion and broader political participation under the APC platform.
The 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 was governed by the APC.
The governor was elected under the PDP in the 2023 general elections and joined the ranks of governors who dumped the main opposition party for the APC.
