The North Central APC Forum has invited Governor Caleb Mutfwang of Plateau State to defect from his party, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, to the All Progressive Congress, APC.
The Chairman of the North Central APC Forum, Saleh Mandung Zazzaga, in a statement said the call became necessary to advance the progressive outreach of the APC
The letter titled, “Invitation of Governor Caleb Mutfwang of Plateau State to join APC”, noted that in recent times they have made several consultations and also met with many chieftains of their party from Plateau State and the North Central region in general, to work out modalities on extending their invitation to governor Mutfwang, upon which they have reached out to him already through the media.
“Consequent upon this, it is also pertinent to formally notify you of our invitation to him (Mutfwang) to join the APC, and a formal letter to this effect will also be delivered to him hereafter, and to the Plateau State APC, as well as his ward in Mangu local government area,” the letter explained.
It stated that the call for Mutfwang to join the APC would enable the party to recollect Plateau State which they lost to the PDP in the 2023 election after being in charge since 2015.
According to the letter, Governor Mutfwang’s developmental efforts, his acceptability in the state, his approach towards boosting peace and security of the state and his progressive personality have been impressive.
The letter said, “Besides, Governor Mutfwang is the only governor from the North Central who is not of the APC, and it is necessary to bring him on board so that he can be on the same page with his other counterparts in the North Central, and together they will have a common ground and work for the interest and development of the region in general and their specific states in particular.”
“By and large, our quest to push for the success of our party in the North Central region and in the nation at large cannot be overemphasized, and we are often poised to double our untiring efforts at all times,” the letter observed.
