The All Progressives Congress (APC) has explained why it refused to admit Governor Mutfwang into its fold. The party said the decision was based on internal guidelines and political considerations, aiming to maintain unity and discipline within the party ranks. APC emphasized that its decision was not personal but rooted in party rules.

According to party officials, admitting the governor could have created tensions among existing members and affected ongoing political processes. APC also highlighted the need to avoid conflicts that could arise from multiple high-profile entries into the party at once. The party stated that all decisions were made in the interest of cohesion and stability.

Governor Mutfwang had reportedly sought to join APC, citing alignment with the party’s vision and policies. However, party leaders decided to uphold their internal procedures, signaling that even prominent politicians must respect party guidelines. The decision has stirred discussions among political observers and members of the public.

APC reassured Nigerians that the party remains committed to inclusive politics but will continue to enforce its rules consistently. The party also urged all politicians seeking admission to engage transparently and follow established procedures, ensuring fairness and unity across its structure.
