The Plateau State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has announced that Vice President Kashim Shettima will visit the state on Tuesday for the formal reception of Governor Caleb Mutfwang into the ruling party.
Governor Mutfwang had on December 29, 2025, resigned his membership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in a letter addressed to the Ward Chairman of Ampang West Ward in Mangu Local Government Area. In the letter, he cited prevailing political realities and his commitment to effective leadership and service delivery as reasons for his decision to move to another political platform.
Confirming the planned visit, Chairman of the Central Planning Committee, Rt. Hon. Ahmed Idris Wase, disclosed during a press briefing at the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) headquarters on Monday that Vice President Shettima would attend the event as the Special Guest of Honour.
Wase said the reception would also be graced by the APC National Chairman, Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda; Senate President Godswill Akpabio; Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Tajudeen Abbas; as well as several governors elected on the platform of the APC and other top party leaders.
He appealed to residents of Plateau State to be peaceful and hospitable during the event, urging party supporters and the general public to conduct themselves responsibly and in accordance with the law.
According to him, orderliness and cooperation with security agencies and event officials are essential to ensuring a smooth and successful reception.
“We urge residents, party supporters and well-wishers to conduct themselves peacefully, lawfully and responsibly, in a manner that reflects the enduring values of unity, civility and peaceful coexistence for which Plateau State is proudly known,” Wase said.
“This grand reception belongs to all Plateau people, and its success depends largely on our collective commitment to orderliness, mutual respect and cooperation with security agencies and event officials,” he added.
