Taraba State Governor Agbu Kefas plans to defect from the Peoples Democratic Party to the All Progressives Congress next month. He already joined the party at the ward level. As a result, party leaders view him as a full member.
Original Plans Change
Officials first set the defection for November 19. However a kidnapping crisis in Kebbi State forced a delay. Kefas called the timing insensitive during the security issue. Consequently the event shifted to January 2026.
APC Chairman Confirms Details
APC Taraba Chairman Ibrahim Tukur shared updates at a Jalingo press conference. He explained that December’s holiday rush made it unsuitable. Furthermore, leaders agreed in January for a smooth reception. They will announce the exact date soon.
Key Figures Follow Suit
Fifteen Taraba State House of Assembly members now align with APC. Additionally the entire state executive council joins the move. Tukur described this as a natural shift. Meanwhile, more stakeholders plan to switch.
Political Impact Grows
This defection aims to boost Taraba’s development through federal ties. As a result, it strengthens APC’s hold in the region. However PDP critics worry about power balances.
Public Reaction Builds
Opinions have been mixed among residents on social media. Some hail the focus on unity, while others question motives. On the whole, the change underlines the dynamic character of Nigerian politics.
Future Prospects Shine
Smooth governance is predicted by experts henceforth. In conclusion, this event marks a new era for Taraba to sum up.
