Plateau State Governor, Caleb Mutfwang, has formally resigned from the Peoples Democratic Party, saying current political realities have made it necessary for him to seek another platform to pursue his governance agenda.
Mutfwang conveyed his decision in a letter dated December 29, 2025, addressed to the PDP chairman of Ampang West Ward, Dasjak Sunday Longyol.
The letter, which was obtained in Jos on Thursday, January 1, was personally signed by the governor.
In it, Mutfwang expressed appreciation to the PDP for giving him the opportunity to participate in Nigeria’s democratic process, and thanked party leaders and supporters for standing by him while he was in the party.
“I write to formally notify you of my resignation from the Peoples Democratic Party with immediate effect.

“I sincerely appreciate the PDP for providing me the political platform to participate in the democratic process.
“I appreciate the support of party leaders, members, and supporters at all levels during my time in the party, and I remain grateful for the trust reposed in me.
“Given the realities of the moment, and guided by my commitment to purposeful leadership, clarity of direction, and service delivery, I am compelled to seek an alternative political platform.
“Please accept the assurances of my highest regards,” the letter read.
The governor did not disclose, in the letter, the party he intends to join.
However, his resignation comes after months of speculation over a possible switch to the All Progressives Congress.
