Agbu Kefas, governor of Taraba state, has formally joined the All Progressives Congress (APC), increasing the number of APC governors to 30
The APC had earlier postponed the planned reception for Kefas in honour of members of the armed forces and citizens recently killed in attacks by terrorists in November 2025.
Kefas was officially received into the ruling party on Saturday at a ceremony held in Jalingo, the Taraba state capital.
Nentawe Yilwatda, national chairman of the APC, presented the party’s flag to the governor, affirming him as leader of the party in Taraba state.
Yilwatda described the governor’s defection from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as timely and courageous.
He said aligning with the ruling party at the centre would position Taraba state to benefit from federal programmes and interventions under President Bola Tinubu.
“The APC is the party at the centre, and in my father’s house there are many mansions,” Yilwatda said.
