Vice President Kashim Shettima on Saturday described the movement of Taraba State Governor, Dr Agbu Kefas, into the All Progressives Congress (APC) as “personal and touching.” Speaking at a grand reception in Jalingo to welcome the governor into the party, Shettima praised the growing number of APC governors in the North East and expressed optimism that the governors of Adamawa and Bauchi would follow suit.
He officially announced that Governor Kefas is now the leader of APC in Taraba State and urged party members to rally behind him to strengthen state unity and deliver development. Governor Kefas explained that his decision was not politically motivated but aimed at ushering prosperity and aligning the state with President Bola Tinubu’s “Renewed Hope” agenda.
APC National Chairman, Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, described the defection as a “masterstroke,” marking the start of a revitalization era for Taraba, while urging other governors in the PDP to join the progressives.
