Kefas Defects to APC, Prioritizes Taraba's Interests
On September 1, 2023, Agbu Kefas, the Governor of Taraba State, publicly addressed his defection from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). He clarified that this decision was made to secure better opportunities and stronger federal support for Taraba.
Speaking during the 35th anniversary of the state's creation, Kefas asserted that his move should not be seen as a betrayal of his constituents or a departure from his principles. He described the defection as a strategic political maneuver aimed at enhancing Taraba's engagement with the Federal Government and expanding development partnerships.
Kefas reaffirmed his commitment to the people of Taraba, stating that political parties are merely platforms for public service. He pledged to collaborate with President Bola Tinubu and other stakeholders to advance the interests of Taraba while ensuring that cooperation does not compromise the state's security and welfare.
Additionally, he advocated for a "United State of Taraba" to promote unity among the state's diverse population.
