David Sabo Kent to Contest Taraba Governorship in 2027

David Sabo Kent, a prominent chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), is preparing to enter the governorship race for Taraba State in the 2027 elections. He issued a warning against the imposition of candidates, asserting that such actions could spell doom for the APC in the state.

Kent made this statement during an address to his supporters in Wukari Local Government Area, where he emphasized the need for a united front to contest the upcoming elections. He highlighted the importance of gathering support from party stakeholders and expressed his commitment to consulting widely across the state.

Kent, a well-known philanthropist, aims to provide the necessary development and democratic dividends to the people of Taraba. He also mentioned that he would be contesting to rescue the state from misgovernance and disenchantment with the current administration led by Dr. Agbu Kefa, who was recently criticized for appointing 200 special advisers.
