In a move that has reshaped the political atmosphere in Taraba State, Governor Agbu Kefas has officially registered as a member of the All Progressives Congress APC.
The governor’s registration marks the formal completion of his defection from the Peoples Democratic Party PDP, the platform on which he won the 2023 governorship election. His decision has generated widespread reactions across the state and beyond, with supporters describing it as a strategic alignment with the ruling party at the federal level.
According to party sources, Governor Kefas completed his APC registration at his ward, fulfilling the party’s constitutional requirements ahead of a planned formal reception by the APC leadership.
Political observers believe the development could significantly alter party dynamics in Taraba State, strengthening the APC’s influence in the North East and setting the tone for future electoral contests.
The APC leadership has welcomed the governor’s move, describing it as a boost to the party’s structure and electoral prospects, while opposition figures have cautioned against the growing trend of defections by sitting governors.
