Plateau State Governor Caleb Mutfwang has formally defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to join the All Progressives Congress (APC). The governor announced his political shift during the APC’s 14th National Caucus meeting held at Abuja’s State House Conference Centre.
An APC official declared that Mutfwang’s move signifies the APC now holds governance across Nigeria’s entire North Central geopolitical zone.
