Taraba Governor Agbu Kefas Holds First Meeting With President Tinubu Since Joining APC

Wale busari02 mins

Taraba State Governor Agbu Kefas is holding a meeting with President Bola Tinubu at the Presidential Villa in Abuja. Kefas arrived at the State House around 2 pm on Monday, accompanied by APC National Chairman Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, and entered into a closed-door session with the President, a correspondent reported. This is Kefas’ first visit to the Presidency since he switched allegiance from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC). He had initially planned an APC welcome on November 19 but postponed it, describing the event as “insensitive” following the abduction of schoolgirls in Maga, Kebbi State. The governor’s defection comes amid broader political shifts in Taraba, with the state House Speaker and 15 lawmakers leaving the PDP for the APC, citing the need to “align with the centre” and dissatisfaction with the opposition party’s internal crises. Nationally, the APC has been reaching out to opposition figures ahead of the 2027 elections, with officials suggesting more high-profile defections from PDP strongholds in the North and Middle Belt. Kefas, a retired Nigerian Army lieutenant colonel and former chairman of the board of NIMASA, won the March 2023 governorship election on the PDP platform. He hails from Wukari and previously served as Taraba PDP chairman before becoming the party’s governorship candidate.

Taraba Governor Agbu Kefas Postpones APC Defection Following Kebbi Schoolgirl Abductions

Wale busari02 mins

Taraba State Governor Agbu Kefas has put on hold his planned defection to the All Progressives Congress (APC) in response to the recent abduction of schoolgirls in Kebbi State. In a statement released Tuesday in Jalingo, the governor described the kidnapping as a heartbreaking tragedy, saying it would be inappropriate to continue with political activities while families and the nation are still grieving. “My decision follows the deeply saddening kidnapping of schoolgirls in Kebbi State, because I believe the safety and well-being of the children are far more important than any political activity,” Kefas said. He expressed sympathy to the families of the abducted girls and offered condolences to the Federal Government, calling on security agencies to intensify efforts to secure the safe release of the victims. The defection event, originally scheduled for November 19, 2025, has been suspended pending further consultations and an improvement in the security situation. Political realignments in Taraba State have continued, with all PDP members in the State House of Assembly, local government chairmen, cabinet members, and senior officials, including the Secretary to the State Government, defecting to the APC in recent days. Several party leaders commended the governor’s decision to postpone the rally, describing it as a demonstration of solidarity with the kidnapped schoolgirls and their families.
