Strange, a complete digression from what weve had lately, is it that the ruling party is not that popular in his state OR there are Powerful people in the ruling party that can't be dislodged? |

He was blocked from joining APC. 2023 gubernatorial election was a marginal win against current APC chairman. There is a chance the context will be current governor and apc chairman again in 2027 |

thesolutions:The truth is always that he begged to join APC in the state but strongly resisted by political figures within the APC. Every politician takes his interest with utmost priority than the welfare of the masses. If he does remarkably well for his people, he will be re-elected regardless of where he goes. |

Good decision! Any party except APC! Obviously,the intention of Wike,bulaba and APC is to ensure all governors go to APC! No wonder apc hierarchy are taking all the BS from Wike! PDP's collapse is only a matter of time! |

Muftwang won't be at the PDP Convention this weekend at Ibadan. Knowing that PDP is comatose and he is interested in contesting for another term and INEC and court will pepper his re-election outcome he decides to get an EPV (election purpose vehicle). |

chinchum:Not really! Plateau state APC refused to relinquish their structure to the governor which is a norm when a state governor defects to another party! |

Racoon:What goodwill? Not even Tinubu can defeat him in plateau. Pdp is a dead party and he obviously doesn't want to join apc because plateau people have come to dislike apc. Even if he decides to run as an independent candidate, he's going to win. |

bentenny:we are saying the same thing, as i explained my point a bit further. The governor will not be given an automatic ticket for 2027. Its a similar issue in Osun state |

press9jatv:Am based in Jos Plateau State but hail from the northeast, you know how Peter Obi came into national limelight during his campaign in Jos Plateau State because of crazy massive turnout 📌💯. The town has been balkanized due to religion. Don't forget Tinubu made the former Governor his campaign DG and flagged off in same Jos. Tinubu should grow balls and face all those Islamabads in middle belt and north west. Guy, can't you see Goodluck Jonathan treatment in the horizon 🤷🏿. Tinubu can change the game but he's proving to be weak 📌💯. Guy, only Tinubu can fix this Fulanis 🤷🏿 |

bentenny:On the contrary, the man wanted to go to the APC, but the APC chieftains in Plateau won't let him. Same thing Adeleke is battling in Osun. I believe the President is being careful and handling each defection on a state to state basis. You observed that he didn't go to ADC or any other political party but YPP (Young Progressive Party). Emphasis on 'Progressive'. It is pledge of loyalty to the President. Let's see how all of this unfolds. But politics is just disgusting if we're being honest. |

YPP is a stop gap to APC. He will move to APC once negotiation are concluded with the plateau state chapter of the party. |

This is a greatest misstep considering Plateau people's obsession with PDP.He has just sacrificed his second term for fear of loss. |

Christmyhope:Is there any state with defected governors that the existing APC members didn't resist the defection? Why was Plateau state different? In Enugu, Tinubu had to force the minister out and expel the existing APC excos out of the party. Delta is another state waiting to explode. Do you now agree that all is not well? |
| Re: Governor Mutfwang Formally Announces Defection To The Young Progressives Party by EmperorIsaac(m): 1:33pm On Nov 14, 2025 |
My former boss, a current DG under Mutfwang, has refused to relinquish PDP. I wonder what his fate would be now. |

press9jatv:They told us APC won this state in 2023 but this govt is in TPP. Do you know why? The future of labour Party is not certain because of tinubu. If he goes to APC he will lose due to massive rejection in the state. So he chose a neutral party. |

The Plateau State Government has dismissed persistent rumours claiming that Governor Caleb Mutfwang has defected to the Young Progressives Party. In a statement released on Friday, the Director of Press and Public Affairs, Government House, Dr Gyang Bere, described the claim as “a blatant lie, a shameless concoction peddled by desperate mischief makers” aimed at creating confusion and misleading citizens. The statement reaffirmed that Mutfwang remains committed to his duties and “has not defected to any party.” Bere further stressed: “Governor Mutfwang has not defected to the Young Progressives Party. https://punchng.com/plateau-denies-mutfwangs-defection-to-ypp/#google_vignette

Cajal:Let me explain it. The first time Lalong won, was because his predecessor (Dara Jonah hang) was greedy, as a berom man, serving 2 terms, he was going to senate, then brought another berom man from his same village...so plateau people even the berom decided to revolt and reject him and pdp through the ballots |

press9jatv:He has denied it oooo. He's still very much in PDP, says such rumour is the work of Mischief makers (their usual lingo 😁) |
| Re: Governor Mutfwang Formally Announces Defection To The Young Progressives Party by alezzy13: 2:14pm On Nov 14, 2025 |
blamingthedevil:But funny enough it was the same Gyang Bere that released the information about the defection. Abi them clone his account ni?? |
