Plateau Governor Simon Mutfwang is reportedly set to join the All Progressives Congress (APC), with his aide describing the move as a “done deal.” The aide explained that the decision was carefully considered to align with the governor’s political vision and goals for the state.
According to the aide, joining APC will provide Mutfwang with a stronger platform to deliver on key developmental projects and ensure better collaboration with the federal government. This shift is also seen as a strategic step ahead of upcoming elections.
Political analysts suggest that the governor’s move could influence other Plateau politicians to reconsider their party affiliations, potentially reshaping the state’s political landscape. It reflects a broader trend of defections in Nigeria’s political scene.
While reactions are mixed, supporters of Mutfwang believe the decision will enhance governance and development in Plateau, giving the state more visibility at the national level. Critics, however, question the timing and implications of the defection.
