Mutfwang Reveals Those Who Will Determine His Political Future

Amid growing pressure and widespread rumors of defection to the APC, Governor Caleb Mutfwang broke his silence, insisting he remained with the PDP and loyal to Plateau people. He further affirmed that only God and the people of Plateau would determine his political future.

Governor Caleb Mutfwang of Plateau State has denied rumors that he plans to leave the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and join the All Progressives Congress (APC).

He said clearly that he has no intention of switching parties and called the speculation false.

This comes after a few other PDP governors, like those from Delta and Akwa Ibom States, recently left the party and joined the APC. Mutfwang had also met with President Bola Tinubu recently, which made people think he might be preparing to defect. However, he said that meeting the president doesn’t mean he is leaving the PDP.

During a media chat, Mutfwang explained that he has always stayed loyal to the PDP and the people of Plateau State. He shared how he once won the governorship election even when he was just a local government chairman, showing that he didn’t need to switch sides to succeed.

“I haven’t had that conversation [of leaving PDP for APC] with anyone. The media has speculated a lot, but nothing has happened,” he said.

He added that there are groups spreading the rumor. “There are two or three groups peddling that rumour. One group is well-intentioned. They know the APC has never really existed on the Plateau—I say that with every sense of responsibility. They’ve been in government by fraud for the past eight years,” he stated.

Mutfwang then recalled the 2015 election: “In 2015, they didn’t win that election. There was a wave of anger in the PDP that led to anti-party activities, but even then, the APC did not win. I was a local government chairman at the time. We adjourned the coalition at 8 p.m. to resume the next morning. But by 2 a.m., when I woke up I found that the results had already been declared.”

He made it clear that he would not betray the trust of the people who supported him and the PDP. “That’s why I have always said my political future will be decided by God and the people of Plateau State. Wherever Plateau people go, that’s where we go.”

Mutfwang emphasized that he is committed to the PDP. “For us, this isn’t even a matter for discussion. I am a bona fide member of the PDP. I remain so. And I’m very optimistic that very soon, the PDP crisis will be a thing of the past,” he added.
