The North-Central All Progressives Congress Forum has appealed to President Bola Tinubu to step into the party’s affairs in Plateau State, especially regarding ongoing conversations about Governor Caleb Mutfwang’s possible move from the PDP to the APC.
Eko Hot Blog reports that the group raised concerns in a statement signed by its chairman, Saleh Zazzaga, noting that federal appointments coming from Plateau State are not reflecting the contributions of those who supported Tinubu’s 2023 campaign.

The forum expressed support for efforts to bring Governor Mutfwang into the APC ahead of the 2027 elections, describing him as a strategic political asset.
While the forum commended recent appointments of Plateau APC members, including Professor Nentawe Yilwatda and Dr Bernard Mohammed Doro, but stressed that more fairness is needed to reward loyal party members.
According to the forum, many individuals benefiting from federal positions did not work for the party’s success and even lost their polling units during the last election, while grassroots supporters have been ignored.
They urged the president to correct what they called “wrong appointments” and ensure fairness in the distribution of opportunities.
The group also criticised some Plateau APC leaders for rejecting Mutfwang’s possible defection, arguing that such resistance undermines the party’s broader interests.
They insisted that the governor’s entry into the APC would strengthen the party’s chances and unify the North-Central region.
The statement ended with an appeal to all APC stakeholders in Plateau State to work together and embrace genuine collaboration to avoid internal divisions ahead of future elections.
