Governor Caleb Muftwang of Plateau is set to join the ruling All Progressives Congress. Istifanus Nwansat, the governor’s political adviser, disclosed this on Monday in Abuja.

According to Mr Nwansat, the governor chose to join the APC because it was the least risky option given the disarray within the Peoples Democratic Party.

He explained that the impending defection of Mr Muftwang to the APC would also align with President Bola Tinubu’s political and governance trajectory on the plateau.

He noted that the crisis in the PDP had made the platform an unrealistic podium for political actors to contest elections.

“From the assessment and analysis of all the available options, we have concluded that the safest decision for us today, and with the least risk factor, is to move into the APC.

“That is why the governor is moving into the APC. Again, the governor believes that it is good and reasonable enough as a leader for him to move his people to align with Mr President.

“This is because by our own assessment as a state, even though we are members of the PDP, we appreciate and recognise the efforts of Mr President in putting things right,” Mr Nwansat said.
