Governor Caleb Mutfwang’s recent visit to the Presidential Villa, Abuja, has set the tone for a defining chapter in Plateau State’s political and developmental journey.
On Thursday 22nd January 2026, the Plateau Governor met with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in what insiders describe as wide-ranging discussions bordering on national development and the strategic advancement of Plateau State within the Nigerian federation.
That high-level engagement was not an isolated encounter. Rather, it symbolized the culmination of Governor Mutfwang’s bold and calculated decision to realign Plateau State with the party at the centre ,the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Since that strategic move, the political atmosphere in the state has witnessed a remarkable shift, marked by renewed cooperation, expanded access to federal engagement, and a visible easing of partisan tensions.
In a short span of time, Plateau State has recorded significant political dividends. Prominent sons and daughters of the state have been appointed into key national positions, reinforcing the state’s presence in the federal power structure.
Even more striking is the gradual dissipation of political hostility that once defined the state’s landscape, as diverse interests now converge under a broader, more inclusive platform.
It is against this backdrop that the much-anticipated grand reception in honour of Governor Caleb Mutfwang’s formal entry into the APC has assumed historic significance.
Scheduled to hold at the iconic Polo Field, Jos, Tuesday 27th January 2026, the event is widely regarded as long overdue and emblematic of a political turning point for Plateau State.
Beyond ceremony, the grand reception represents powerful optics of unity, cohesion and progress,not just for Plateau, but for Nigeria’s evolving political architecture.
It underscores a deliberate shift from divisive politics to strategic alignment in pursuit of good governance and accelerated development.
