Governor Caleb Mutfwang of Plateau State Faces Pressure to Defect to APC Amid Political Shifts
Governor Caleb Mutfwang of Plateau State is facing pressure to defect from the PDP to the APC, mirroring a trend of governors defecting ahead of the 2023 elections. Several governors from southern states have already switched parties, indicating a potential realignment.
The move could weaken the PDP, which currently controls eight out of Nigeria's 36 states. Speculation is rife about more defections, with names like Sheriff Oborevwori, Umo Eno, Peter Mbah, Douye Diri, Agbu Kefa, Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri, and Dauda Lawal being mentioned.
