Plateau State’s All Progressives Congress has kicked off its electronic membership drive with a bang, as Governor Caleb Mutfwang , sets sights on delivering one million votes for President Tinubu in 2027. The launch signals APC’s aggressive push to solidify its hold in the north-central state amid opposition disarray.
Mutfwang, who switched from PDP last month, hailed the exercise as a “milestone” for consolidation. “We’re building a massive base for victory,” he said at the flag-off. The e-system requires NIN and voter’s cards for over-18s, aiming for transparency and growth.
Plateau’s move mirrors nationwide efforts: Enugu eyes two million, FCT boasts poll wins. APC national chair Nentawe Yilwatda welcomed Mutfwang’s defection as a “game-changer.”

But challenges persist. PDP insists on retaining control despite the loss, while ADC’s coalition talks with NNPP and PDP vow to “fix Nigeria.”
For Plateau residents, it’s mixed. “We need jobs and security,” a Jos trader said. Tinubu’s agenda promises that, but poverty critiques linger.
The drive positions APC for dominance, but 2027 will test. Mutfwang’s target could sway the north.
