Plateau Governor Muftwang to Join APC
Governor Caleb Muftwang of Plateau State is set to join the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports.
Mr Istifanus Nwansat, the governor’s Political Adviser, told newsmen on Monday in Abuja that Muftwang’s decision was driven by the chaos within the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), which has made the platform unsuitable for political actors.
Nwansat explained that the move would also align the governor with President Bola Tinubu’s political and governance agenda.
He said, “From the assessment and analysis of all available options, we have concluded that the safest decision, with the least risk factor, is to move into the APC.
“The governor believes it is reasonable as a leader to guide his people to align with the President. Even as PDP members, we recognise the efforts of Mr President in putting things right.”
Meanwhile, Senator Adeniyi Adegbonmire of Ondo Central Senatorial District has claimed there is no opposition capable of defeating President Tinubu in 2027.
Speaking during the Adegbonmire Renewed Hope Mega Empowerment programme, which saw 900 people empowered, the senator said Tinubu’s allies are already mobilising for his re-election to secure an “overwhelming victory.”
Adegbonmire said, “Where’s the opposition? I don’t know of any. Who is in the ADC? Tell me who the person is going to be. There is no ADC.”
He added that the empowerment programme was intended to support both the President, the state government, and the APC.
“Since he cannot do everything himself, those of us supporting him must ensure people feel the impact of Mr President,” he said.
