In a political development that could reshape Taraba State's political landscape, Governor Agbu Kefas is reportedly making final arrangements to cross from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The APC National Reconciliation Forum has expressed strong support for this anticipated move, describing it as a "welcome development" that would significantly strengthen the ruling party's presence in the northeastern state.
According to reliable sources within the party, Governor Kefas has been engaged in extensive consultations with key stakeholders and has received assurances of a warm reception from the APC leadership.
Strategic Political Realignment
The potential defection represents a major strategic gain for the APC, which has been working to consolidate its influence in traditionally PDP-dominated regions. Political analysts suggest this move could trigger a wave of realignments in Taraba State and neighboring regions.
The APC Reconciliation Forum, through its leadership, has been actively working to facilitate the governor's transition, ensuring a smooth integration process that would maximize the political benefits for both parties.
Implications for Taraba Politics
Governor Kefas's potential switch comes at a crucial time in Nigeria's political calendar and could have far-reaching consequences for the state's governance and future electoral contests. The move is seen as potentially strengthening the APC's chances in upcoming elections while weakening the opposition's foothold in the region.
Party insiders indicate that formal announcement of the defection is expected once all procedural matters and consultation processes are completed to the satisfaction of all involved parties.
