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.

“To this end, all is now set for the earth-shaking reception which has since generated happiness and charged the political atmosphere in the state,” the statement read.

According to Ari, the event has sparked widespread interest and anticipation among residents, with preparations nearing completion.

He disclosed that the Central Planning Committee, co-chaired by former Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Ahmed Idris Wase, and former Senate Minority Leader, Senator Simon Mwadkon, has been working round the clock to ensure a successful and hitch-free event.

“In addition, various sub-committees have swung into action to put in place all necessary arrangements for the grand reception,” he said.

Since the announcement of the reception date, political activities across Plateau State have intensified, with residents eagerly awaiting the historic event.

The organisers also revealed that a series of pre-event activities have been lined up, including press conferences, media engagements, and road shows across parts of the state.

President Tinubu is expected to personally receive Governor Mutfwang, alongside the APC National Chairman, Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda; Senate President Godswill Akpabio; Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Tajudeen Abbas; progressive governors; and other party chieftains.
