President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Senate President Godswill Akpabio, and other top leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) are expected in Jos, the Plateau State capital, on Tuesday 27th January 2028 for the formal reception of Governor Caleb Mutfwang into the ruling party.
The event will officially mark Governor Mutfwang’s entry into the APC and is expected to draw national attention to Plateau State.
This was disclosed in a statement issued on Sunday in Jos by the Chairman of the Media and Publicity Sub-Committee, Sir Joseph Ari, who said the reception has already generated excitement and heightened political activities across the state.
