GOVERNOR MUTFWANG FORMALLY ANNOUNCES DEFECTION TO THE YOUNG PROGRESSIVES PARTY (YPP)

In a move aimed at repositioning Plateau State on the path of credible leadership, inclusiveness, and purposeful governance, the Executive Governor of Plateau State, Barr. Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang, has formally announced his defection from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the Young Progressives Party (YPP).

Governor Mutfwang stated that his decision followed wide consultations with critical stakeholders across the state and beyond, who unanimously agreed that the YPP offers a fresh, people-oriented platform to consolidate ongoing reforms and advance the collective aspirations of Plateau people.

The Governor emphasized that his defection is driven by a commitment to restore faith in governance, bridge political divides, and champion a new vision for unity, peace, and progress across Plateau State. He reiterated his unwavering dedication to service delivery, transparency, and good governance, irrespective of political affiliation.

Governor Mutfwang called on citizens to remain peaceful, law-abiding, and supportive of government’s efforts to deepen democracy and accelerate development across all sectors.

The Governor’s move to the YPP takes immediate effect, as he continues to lead the state government with renewed vigor and broader political inclusiveness.

Expected. APC won't have you.
They tried to steal your mandate but failed.
They made the attempted mandate thief their chairman to frustrate your relationship with the first family but failed.
This is decent politics. Go where no one would claim control or manipulate your actions.
Way to go Mutfwang.

Modified: The news is apparently false though.

Hmm PDP is completely dead

Why not APC like his doomed fellows?

Mufwang have really cornered himself. He has lost the goodwill he came with into office. Now he is disgusted

AMINDA:
Lol. Plateau people won't vote Muftwang under the APC.

Exactly. They are mandate thieves.
YPP has 2 more years to show the state the new party logo.
It's going to be in every farm, bags, books, wrappers and face cap. Nentawe can continue his bribe to his local government people in the name of intervention using APCs fund or Ministry of humanitarian affairs fund. He has shot himself in the foot. He will resign from APCs chairmanship position to contest for governorship position and will still fail. That will devastate APC the more.

APC was unable to convince him. This shows the noise about one party state is a ruse and merely the lamentations of a rubbled opposition!

all the governor's excos and all the grassroots structures will decamp to Ypp. The plateau state Governor is very wise here. In 2027, he will work for Tinubu re-election. Tinubu will never stressed his Reelection bid.

The Governor is very smart
