The All Progressives Congress (APC) has confirmed the defection of Plateau State Governor Caleb Mutfwang from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the ruling party. Yilwatda noted that the defection means all states in the North Central geopolitical zone are now governed by the APC. President Bola Tinubu presided over the meeting, which was attended by six governors who recently switched from the PDP to the APC. He stated that aligning with President Tinubu would benefit Plateau State, as it recognises the Federal Government’s efforts to address key issues. Siminalayi Fubara (Rivers State)Left the PDP for the APC in December, aiming to support President Bola Tinubu and enhance development in Rivers State.
