The North-Central APC Forum has ramped up pressure on Plateau State Governor, Caleb Mutfwang, to dump the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the All Progressives Congress (APC), a move that has sparked fierce divisions within the state chapter of the ruling party.

This comes on the heels of Akwa Ibom State Governor, Pastor Umo Eno’s recent defection, which has added momentum to the APC’s ongoing campaign to woo PDP governors ahead of the 2027 general elections.

In Plateau, however, the campaign has turned controversial. Fears are growing among APC stakeholders that Mutfwang’s entry into the party could hand him automatic control of its state structure and the 2027 governorship ticket.

The crisis escalated after the Forum, led by Alhaji Saleh Zazzaga, endorsed the “Green Cap Movement”, a signature symbol of Mutfwang’s political brand.

This endorsement triggered a backlash from some APC , who labelled the move as “anti-party activity” and called for sanctions against Zazzaga.

They accused the Forum of undermining internal democracy and weakening the position of loyal APC leaders in the state.

But Zazzaga, defending the Forum’s actions in a statement from Abuja, claimed the move was backed by the party’s national leadership.

He dismissed the criticisms as distractions by “enemies of unity” and insisted that the APC must open its doors to politically strong figures like Mutfwang.

“The APC is not a personal estate. We need leaders like Governor Mutfwang to strengthen our chances in 2027,” he said.

Meanwhile, Professor Nentawe Yilwatda, the APC’s 2023 governorship candidate in Plateau, has openly questioned Zazzaga’s loyalty, accusing him of pushing a divisive agenda that threatens the party’s stability.

Hmmmm. This one-party state agenda is looking likely by the minute. May God help this country o.

O ga oooo

Nice

Not bad he should defect quickly too
If he has done well, they can vote him again,
Defection or not should affect the choices people will have to make in 2027

It's also really a shame that all politicians are focused on is 2027, despite all that is going on in the country.

They are one side of the divide enjoying increased national cake while the masses on the other side paying for the negative effects of subsidy removal and poor security

This defections that APC see has blessing will bring sorrow to them

Even Muftuwang too?

Dang, and I used to think highly of the guy, that at least he would be stubborn enough to be a good opposition politician

Very useless sets of politicians. At least people should beat the consequences of their decisions.

No be small thing o.

All of you would work tirelessly for Tinubu to win come 2027, after his reelection, one by one, many of you would now realise that, the few vacancies available cannot take all of you at a go, in other to realise your inordinate ambitions, that would start the beginning of APC explosion 💥

Would they be useless if they defected to Labour Party? Probably not

who has the agenda?


You will be celebrating by now if all these politicians are gravitating towards LP/OBI.....



Hypocrite

When Peter OBI former party was controlling 31 states in 2007...who shouted one party state

If you have 10 hours to cut down a tree, spend 9 hours sharpening your cutlass. That was Tinubu's strategy. In two years, he has collapsed all the parties, brought down giants bedevelling our economy.

Others should go and queue.

We'll disappoint APC in 2027

The performing governor of plateau state is not moving anywhere.
He have turned plateau state into a construction 🚧 site.
Workers are smiling, farmers are smiling as they where given fertiliser and other farm imput/implements. pensioners are smiling, as they are paid their pension as and when due,and
about 20 years of gratuity backlog almost cleared. families of deceased civil servants are smiling as he's paying death benefits.
The rate at which he's quietly 🤫 commissioning strategic projects is satisfying.
He recently approved another 17 new ones(projects) and work is going on at a very fast pace.
What he has done ✔️ in 2 years, Simon lalong didn't do in 8 years.
I mean everything I said.
The legacy projects which are a signature white elephant projects, where abandoned by lalong himself after spending about 38 billion naira without something to show for it.
Lalong really messed up the state in his second tenure.
This man(mutfwang) came and started with construction and palliative of township roads and fixed all abandoned and new strategic road networks and slowly going into the villages.
Now the LGCs are now having their share of construction of rural roads at a massive level.
At the rate at which he's going,any candidate present by the APC will lose the election before 10 AM.

Tinubu Tsunami

It will bring internal crisis that we likely consume the party.
