Mass Defection Boosts APC’s Grip In Plateau As Thousands Join The Ruling Party
In a political climate where momentum often swings on public perception, the All Progressives Congress (APC) scored a major win on Saturday as thousands of new supporters defected to the ruling party in Plateau State, a development analysts say could reshape the state’s political balance ahead of future elections.
APC National Chairman, Prof. Nentawe Goshwe Yilwatda, led the high-powered delegation that welcomed the decampees.
Also present was Senate President Godswill Akpabio, who represented President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, alongside several APC governors, members of the National Working Committee, and top party stalwarts.
Addressing the jubilant crowd, party leaders described the mass defection as evidence of growing trust in the APC’s leadership and governance direction.
They assured the new members of full integration and a renewed commitment to delivering dividends of democracy across Plateau State.
The event, marked by solidarity chants and renewed political energy, further strengthens the APC’s presence in the North-Central region as it continues its nationwide consolidation drive.
