Taraba State Governor Agbu Kefas has confirmed that he will formally defect from the Peoples Democratic Party to the All Progressives Congress on November 19. Kefas disclosed the development on Saturday, November 15, during a brief chat with journalists, saying the decision represents what he described as a major shift and alignment for the people of Taraba. There is going to be a major shift and alignment on November 19, he said. I will officially transition from PDP to APC. It is a movement that has to do with the destiny of Taraba people. The governor added that he is expecting a lot of visitors for the defection ceremony, which he said will mark the beginning of a new political direction in the state. Kefas becomes the latest PDP governor to join the ruling party in 2025, following similar defections by Umo Eno of Akwa Ibom, Sheriff Oborevwori of Delta, Peter Mbah of Enugu, and Douye Diri of Bayelsa. Elected in 2023 with 257,926 votes, Kefas defeated Muhammad Yahaya of the NNPP and Emmanuel Bwacha of the APC to secure the governorship seat. Since the return of democracy in 1999, all Taraba governors have emerged from the PDP, making Kefas defection a significant political departure from the states long-standing tradition. The ceremony on November 19 is expected to attract prominent political figures from within and outside the state.The post Governor Kefas of Taraba state to join APC on Wednesday appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.YOUR POST GOES TO 1000 SOCIAL MEDIA ACCOUNTS DAILY FOR FREE TOO !
