Plateau Governor, Caleb Mutfwang, Defects To APC, Strengthening Party’s Hold In North Central
Governor Barr. Caleb Mutfwang has officially defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC), the ruling party in Nigeria.
The announcement was made by the APC National Chairman, Nentawe Yilwata, during the party’s national caucus meeting in Abuja.
Governor Mutfwang’s defection comes after weeks of political speculation and negotiations. His move consolidates APC’s control over all six states in Nigeria’s North Central geopolitical zone, ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Speaking on the defection, APC leaders welcomed Governor Mutfwang into the party fold, describing the development as a major political milestone that strengthens party unity and strategic influence in the region.

Political analysts say the defection is a significant boost for APC and a setback for the PDP, which has experienced several high-profile defections in recent years.
Plans are underway for a formal reception of Governor Mutfwang in Plateau State in the coming days.
