Taraba Governor Agbu Kefas.webp
The Digest:

Taraba State Governor Agbu Kefas has officially registered as a member of the All Progressives Congress, marking a historic political shift in a state traditionally governed by the PDP since 1999.

Key Points:
  • Kefas received his APC membership card from the party’s Hospital Ward Chairman in Wukari LGA.
  • He described the move as being in the “interest of governance and party unity” in Taraba.
  • A larger defection ceremony, postponed from November, will be announced later.
  • The governor’s switch increases APC-controlled states to 27 out of 36.
  • The postponement was initially in honor of armed forces members and citizens killed in terrorist attacks.
  • Prominent figures present included House Speaker John Bonzena and former Speaker Abel Diah.
  • Kefas stated the registration allows him to fully participate in APC activities ahead of the planned ceremony.
The defection continues the steady erosion of opposition strongholds, revealing how political loyalty in Nigeria is often a storm of pragmatism, shaped less by party dogma than by the calculus of power and survival.

Rooted in the Storm.
