A former Permanent Secretary, Plateau State Government House Administration, Sunday Garba Biggs has dumped the All Progressive Congress (APC) for the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and has declared to run for the governorship position in the state.
Biggs who contested for the APC gubernatorial ticket in 2023 is a close alley of the former governor and senator representing Plateau South Senatorial Zone, Simon Lalong.
He had on the 21st of April 2026, Biggs formally written to the APC stating his intention to resign from the party.
In the letter of resignation to the APC Chairman Mangu Ward II in Mangu LGA where he hails from, he declared his intentions to contest for the governorship position yesterday at the PDP office in Mangu where party supporters were gathered in their numbers.
Mangu is also the hometown of the present governor, Caleb Mutfwang.
Biggs stressed that anyone who understands the trajectory of Plateau politics will know that ‘godfathersim’ or positions don’t guarantee governorship election victory. He assured the people that the PDP would bounce back from its challenges and retake power in the state in 2027.
“We cannot afford to remain where we are. The time has come for a new direction—one that prioritizes the welfare of our people, strengthens our institutions, and unlocks opportunities for all,” he said.
