Governor Caleb Mutfwang resigns from PDP

Governor Caleb Mutfwang of Plateau State has formally withdrawn his membership from the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP).

In a letter dated 29th December 2025 and addressed to the PDP Ward Chairman of Ampang West Ward in Mangu Local Government Area, Mutfwang announced his resignation with immediate effect.

The letter, which was acknowledged by the ward leadership a day later, conveyed his appreciation to the party for providing a platform to participate in the democratic process.

The letter reads, “I write to formally notify you of my resignation from the PDP with immediate effect.”

“I sincerely appreciate the PDP for providing me with the political platform to participate in the democratic process.

“I acknowledge the support of party leaders, members, and supporters at all levels during my time in the party, and I remain grateful for the trust reposed in me.

“Given the realities of the moment and guided by my commitment to purposeful leadership, clarity of direction, and service delivery, I am compelled to seek an alternative political platform.

“Please, accept the assurances of my highest regards.”

Muftwang is expected to move to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Recall that Prof Nentawe Yilwatda, National Chairman of the APC, at a recent event at the Presidential Villa in Abuja, announced that the Plateau governor is set to join the ruling party.
