Yilwatda Urges Non-APC Members: This Is Your Final Chance To Join The APC

Yilwatda made this statement on Tuesday in Jos, the Plateau State capital, during the official defection of Governor Caleb Mutfwang to the APC.

The ceremony was seen as a significant political shift in the state, as Governor Mutfwang formally joined the ruling party, further boosting the APC’s influence in Plateau.

Speaking to party supporters and key political figures at the event, Yilwatda described the APC as the leading political force across the state.

‘Others Are Minorities’

According to the APC chairman, the party has gained massive grassroots support throughout Plateau, leaving other political parties with little political relevance.

He said, “Anyone who is not in APC is now a minority. In all the wards in Plateau, everybody is in APC.”

Yilwatda also urged politicians and supporters who remain in other parties to consider moving to the APC, presenting the ruling party as a place of stability while opposition parties weaken.

“I want to invite the remaining minorities in other political parties. I appeal to you in good faith. This is your last opportunity,” he said.

The APC chairman further encouraged opposition members to take advantage of the party’s ongoing online registration exercise, warning that other political parties were struggling to survive.

“Our online registration is ongoing, and the window is still open. We are extending a lifeline. Come to our party and save yourselves because other political parties are sinking,” Yilwatda added.

His comments come amid increasing political realignments ahead of the 2027 general elections, as defections continue to reshape the political landscape in several states.
