A major political shift is underway! Plateau State Governor Caleb Mutfwang has just made a significant move, defecting from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to join the All Progressives Congress (APC). This news, announced by the APC's National Chairman, Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, during the party’s 14th National Caucus meeting in Abuja, marks a pivotal moment in Nigerian politics.
This announcement, reported by Channels Television, took place on Wednesday. Yilwatda, himself a native of Plateau State, highlighted that this defection now means the APC governs all states within the North Central geopolitical zone.
But here's where it gets interesting: the meeting, held at the State House Conference Centre, Abuja, is being presided over by President Bola Tinubu, as reported by PUNCH Online.
This defection is particularly noteworthy as it involves a sitting governor switching parties. The meeting was attended by six governors who recently made the same move from the PDP to the APC. The meeting commenced at 7:38 PM with the President's arrival.
What are the potential implications of this shift? Does this signal a broader trend in Nigerian politics? What impact will this have on the political landscape of Plateau State and the North Central region?
