Governor Mutfwang – The Trumpet Newspaper Nigeria
A group operating under the aegis of the Plateau North Coalition has rejected the proposed one-term agenda by Kefas Ropshik of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), and endorsed Governor Caleb Mutfwang for a second term in 2027.
The group said its position is aimed at ensuring the smooth running of governance and maintaining the zoning arrangement in Plateau State.
In a press statement issued in Jos and signed by Gyang Pam and Ajik Agwom, the coalition said the people of Plateau State could not trust Ropshik with political office, arguing that he has not previously been entrusted with any political position, hence his assertion will violate the zoning arrengement in the state.
The group also commended Governor Mutfwang for his courage, resilience and equitable distribution of infrastructure across the state.
It argued that introducing a new candidate from Plateau Central at this critical point in the state’s history would amount to taking the state backwards.

“The people of Plateau North cannot trust any politician from Plateau Central at the moment apart from Governor Caleb Mutfwang, who has shown leadership qualities and demonstrated that Plateau can be governed on the basis of equity, fairness and justice,” the statement said.
The coalition maintained that Plateau State cannot afford to take any action that would undermine the progress recorded under the current administration.
“We cannot take any action at this moment that will take Plateau State backwards. Plateau North is willing to support Governor Mutfwang to complete his second tenure and hand over to Plateau North.
“We are not in for stories at this moment, and Kefas Ropshik cannot be trusted for a single term,” the group stated.
The group therefore called on the people of Plateau North, and Plateau State at large, to support Governor Mutfwang’s second-term bid, arguing that his completion of another term would help preserve the state’s zoning arrangement and ensure continuity in governance.
