US EditionNigeria: APC Pre-Empts Govmutfwang's Defection Move
Governor Mutfwang rejects calls to defect to APC, stating only divine authority and the electorate can decide his political allegiance amid internal party tensions.
- Last week, Plateau State Governor Caleb Mutfwang said he faces pressure to leave the Peoples Democratic Party for the All Progressives Congress but only God and the electorate can authorise such a change.
- APC leaders at a stakeholders' meeting in Jos unanimously endorsed a motion to stop Mutfwang's defection, reportedly moved by Festus Fuanter, former Deputy National Secretary of the APC.
- APC officials dismissed the rumours last week, with Festus Fuanter saying `We don’t want anybody coming to our party`, and the audience at the Banquet Hall, Government House, Jos loudly rejected defection.
- Mutfwang argued that those rejecting his rumoured defection were acting out of fear and claimed 60 to 70 percent of members of the All Progressives Congress in Plateau would welcome them.
- He added he would not dwell on the issue, calling it a story for another day, and said the Peoples Democratic Party is confident ahead of the 2027 general elections.
