Plateau State Governor Caleb Mutfwang has revealed that he is facing mounting pressure to defect from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC)
Speaking during an event at the Banquet Hall of the Government House in Jos, Mutfwang said his political future is in the hands of God and the people of Plateau.
“It is true that they have been putting pressure on me. But I told them that only two people can authorise me to change my party — one is the God of heaven, and the other is you, the people. Have you asked me to go anywhere?” he asked, as the crowd responded with a resounding “No.”
His remarks came days after APC leaders in Plateau dismissed speculations that the governor was planning to defect.
“We don’t want anybody coming to our party. You do your thing, and we’ll do ours,” former APC Deputy National Secretary Festus Fuanter had said.
Responding to that statement, Mutfwang said those opposing a move he never made were acting out of fear.
“So, those who are rejecting me for what I didn’t even ask for are wasting their time,” he said. “The truth is that 60 to 70 percent of the people in the APC in Plateau would be happy to have us join them. They know I will not do that — and that’s why they’re angry and twisting things.”
The governor concluded by saying he would not dwell further on the matter, adding, “It’s a story for another day.”
