The All Progressives Congress (APC) has launched its electronic membership registration and revalidation exercise in Plateau State, with Governor Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang and APC National Chairman, Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda Goshwe, flagging off the event in Dengi (Kanam LGA) and Langtang (Langtang North LGA).
The historic event attracted a large turnout of party faithful, supporters, and well-wishers, signaling a new dawn in Plateau State’s political landscape. Prof. Yilwatda emphasized that the exercise aimed to deepen inclusiveness, cohesion, and internal democracy within the APC, assuring party members of a level playing field to pursue their political aspirations.
The APC National Chairman welcomed Governor Mutfwang into the APC, describing their coming together as a deliberate decision taken in the overall interest of peace, unity, and the transformation of Plateau State. He clarified that their political rivalry in 2023 was never personal but based strictly on differing political choices, adding that Plateau State stands to gain immensely from their renewed partnership.
Governor Mutfwang said he had decided to join hands with Prof. Yilwatda in the best interest of Plateau State, urging supporters on all sides to embrace peace, unity, and collective progress. He acknowledged the commitment of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to national development, assuring Plateau citizens that working together would guarantee prosperity for the state.
The Governor disclosed that his administration has put measures in place to support farmers with critical inputs to recover losses recorded in the previous farming season, while also assuring the people of Kanam of massive infrastructural development, including schools, primary healthcare facilities, and empowerment initiatives aimed at promoting economic self-reliance.
Prof. Yilwatda stated that political alignment with the federal centre enhances a state’s bargaining power and access to development opportunities. “When the Governor and the National Chairman walk together, Plateau will attract more projects, more opportunities, and a fairer share of national resources,” he said.
The APC Chairman expressed confidence that Plateau would give strong support to President Tinubu and the APC in 2027, emphasizing that a credible and robust membership base would position Plateau as a key player in national politics.
Governor Mutfwang urged citizens to shun drug abuse, embrace peaceful coexistence, and channel their energies toward productive ventures that would foster individual and community development. He linked the improved security situation in Plateau State to cooperation, shared leadership, and institutional trust.
The event was marked by symbolic presentations of APC membership registration slips to new and existing members in Kanam and Langtang North and South Local Government Areas, as the Governor and APC National Chairman pledged to work together for the benefit of Plateau State.
