Senator representing Plateau Central, Diket Plang, has described the defection of Plateau State Governor, Caleb Mutfwang, to the All Progressives Congress (APC) as “an excellent move” that would strengthen political alignment and accelerate development for the state.
Speaking during an interactive session with journalists, Plang said having the governor, the national chairman, the president, and key federal lawmakers in the same party would make lobbying for federal projects easier and more productive.
According to him, “When you have a governor and you are in the ruling party, and you also have a president, lobbying becomes easier and cheaper for members of the legislative arm. If the coming of the governor will be an added advantage for us to pursue more for Plateau, then it is an excellent move.”
