APC to Welcome Taraba Governor Kefas in Defection Move

The All Progressives Congress (APC) is preparing to receive Taraba State Governor Kefas, who is set to defect from the People's Democratic Party (PDP). This move will make him the fourth PDP governor to join the ruling APC in recent years, following similar defections in Delta, Akwa Ibom, and Bayelsa states.

The defection signals a major political realignment and could impact the power dynamics ahead of the 2027 elections. The formal welcome event is scheduled to take place at the Jolly Nyam Stadium in Jalingo, the capital of Taraba State.
