Today, January 2, 2026, I formally joined the All Progressives Congress (APC) after completing my registration and receiving my membership card at the Government House, Rayfield. I am grateful to God for His guidance, as this decision followed prayers, wide consultations, and careful consideration of the best interests of Plateau State.

I have embraced the APC as a platform to deepen peace, unity, and development across our dear state. This decision is not borne out of personal ambition, nor does it signify enmity with anyone. I remain deeply appreciative of my former associates and all those who supported my emergence as Governor.

The 2023 elections were among the most challenging in our history, and my victory was possible only by the grace of God. As we look ahead to 2027, I call on all political actors to embrace peace and unity, and I am confident that Plateau State will stand firmly with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

My vision remains to unite Plateau State beyond partisan lines. We have been divided for too long; the time has come to replace bitterness with peace, hatred with love, and division with unity. Plateau must move forward as one people.

I will work closely with party leaders, stakeholders, and the people of Plateau State to accelerate development and deliver the dividends of democracy. We have come to add value, not subtract; to build, not divide.
