Taraba State Governor, Agbu Kefas, might have unsettled Nigeria’s main opposition party, the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), after failing to rule out a possible move to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Speaking during a high-level meeting with political stakeholders on Tuesday at the Banquet Hall of the T.Y Danjuma House in Jalingo, the state capital, the governor said he would soon make public his decision on his political future.
“In the coming days, I will make my intentions known to the people of Taraba,” he announced, his words drawing a hush over the packed hall.

Although Governor Kefas was careful not to make a direct declaration, his commendation of the APC for its “open door policy” toward new entrants added fuel to the growing speculation about his possible defection.
He emphasized that his political choices are guided by a single goal: building “a Taraba of everyone’s dreams.”
He also stressed that unity, peace, and progress remain the pillars of his administration.
“Whatever direction we take, it will be for the greater good of our people. We must continue to live together in peace, regardless of political affiliations,” he said.
For many in attendance, the tone of Governor Kefas’ remarks suggested that his consultations over dumping the PDP for the APC were nearing conclusion.
