Senate President Godswill Akpabio on Monday said Governor Caleb Muftwang of Plateau State has conquered the state ahead of 2027.
Speaking during the official welcoming of Muftwang into the APC at an event in Jos, Plateau State, Akpabio also described the governor as the newest bride of the All Progressives Congress, APC.
The Senate President said the event has shown that the North-Central is now completely under the APC.
” The governor, the newest bride of the APC family in Nigeria, and the performing governor of Plateau State, my brother Caleb. I have only one word for you. Even in the Bible it says, Caleb we can go up to the mountain and conquer it. I want you to know that this moment means you have conquered the Government House in Plateau State again in 2027,” Akpabio said.
“Congratulations in advance, your name shows nothing but conquest. It is important for us to know that today’s event is very significant. Significantly, today the North-Central region is complete.
“People are spreading rumors as if this administration is targeting one religion. But I don’t think that we have had any government in the past 10 years,” he added.
Meanwhile, The governor’s Political Adviser, Istifanus Nwansat, had said Muftwang’s decision to join the APC was informed by the chaos in the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
Nwansat explained that the defection would also align with President Bola Tinubu’s political and governance trajectory on the plateau, noting that “the crisis in the PDP had made the platform an unrealistic podium for political actors to contest elections”.
