The Executive Governor of Plateau State, Barr. Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang, is set to be officially welcomed into the All Progressives Congress (APC) at a grand reception scheduled for Monday, January 27, 2026. The event will take place at the Jos Polo Field, beginning at 11:00 a.m. prompt, organizers confirmed.
The invitation, issued by Dr. Bernard M. Doro, Honourable Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction, called on all party faithful and the people of Plateau State to join in unity and renewed hope as the governor formally aligns with the ruling party.
In his statement, Dr. Doro said the occasion presents an opportunity to strengthen collective commitment to the progress of Plateau State and Nigeria. “Let us come together in unity and renewed hope as we strengthen our collective commitment to the progress of Plateau State and Nigeria,” he urged.
Political observers note that Governor Mutfwang’s defection to the APC marks a significant shift in the state’s political dynamics, coming less than two years before the 2027 general elections. Analysts believe the move could bolster the APC’s influence in Plateau State, consolidate grassroots support, and enhance collaboration between the state government and the federal administration.
The event is expected to draw senior party leaders, lawmakers, traditional rulers, and supporters from across the state, creating a platform for the APC to showcase unity and mobilize support ahead of upcoming elections.
Governor Mutfwang, who has held the state’s highest office since 2023, has consistently emphasized development, peacebuilding, and inclusive governance. His decision to join the APC is widely seen as an effort to align with the federal government’s policies and facilitate greater infrastructural and social development in Plateau State.
The grand reception at Jos Polo Field is expected to be a high-profile political event, symbolizing both the strengthening of party cohesion and the increasing significance of APC’s presence in Plateau State ahead of the 2027 electoral cycle
