Vice President Shettima to visit Plateau for governor's APC reception

Vice President Kashim Shettima is scheduled to visit Plateau State on Tuesday for the formal reception of Governor Caleb Mutfwang into the All Progressives Congress (APC). Mutfwang recently resigned from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). The visit was announced by the Plateau State chapter of the APC.

The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Plateau State has announced that Vice President Kashim Shettima will arrive in the state on Tuesday to oversee the official welcoming of Governor Caleb Mutfwang into the party. This event marks a significant political shift for Mutfwang, who submitted his resignation letter from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on December 29, 2025.

The reception is expected to formalize Mutfwang's alignment with the ruling APC, potentially influencing the state's political dynamics. Details of the resignation letter were addressed to PDP leadership, though specifics of the content remain undisclosed in the announcement.

This development comes amid ongoing political realignments in Nigeria, highlighting the fluidity of party affiliations at the gubernatorial level. The APC's invitation underscores their intent to consolidate power in Plateau State through high-profile defections.
