A group identifying as the Concerned Plateau APC Legacy Members has issued a warning against attempts to prevent Governor Caleb Mutfwang from joining the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The members, who trace their party affiliation back to the APC’s establishment on February 6, 2013, stated they have “never looked back nor switched allegiance” and have contributed to building the party from “patchy grounds” to winning the governorship and several legislative seats in Plateau State.
Speaking through their Convener, Emmanuel Dankasa, in Jos, they criticized “disgruntled individuals” who have organized protests claiming to represent all APC members in Plateau, labeling these actions as “ill-advised, counter-productive, and immature.”
The group called for disciplinary measures against anyone identified as “card-carrying members” involved in the protests, warning that a failure to take action would imply that the protesters are “merely pawns, executing the sinister motives of vested interests within the party hierarchy.”
They highlighted the APC’s tradition of welcoming defectors, referencing recent receptions at Jos Polo Field and in Lokoja, Kogi State, and questioned why the party would now “sit back and allow its supposed members to organize protests to block a sitting governor from joining the party.”
It was noted that no official statement has been released by Governor Mutfwang or his spokesperson confirming an intention to defect.
The group suggested that Mutfwang’s potential move would represent “the biggest catch the party would have recorded in Plateau State since its formation in 2013.”
The members urged Governor Mutfwang to “compassionately consider the plight of the dismissed workers” of Plateau tertiary institutions and to “scrutinize the beneficiaries and reinstate those who truly deserve the opportunity, regardless of their political loyalty.”
They appealed to genuine supporters of the APC to back the governor’s possible entry into mainstream national politics, emphasizing the advantages of aligning with the ruling party under President Bola Tinubu.
