The Taraba State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress, (APC) has confirmed impending defection of Governor Agbu Kefas from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Aeron Atimas, Taraba State Director of Publicity of APC revealed this in Jalingo, Taraba State Capital on Thursday while speaking with journalist, saying the governor’s decision to join the party would be entirely voluntary and unconditional.
The APC spokesperson also refuted allegations that his party laid some conditions for the governor to obey before he would be accepted at the State level.
“APC has not laid out any demands before accepting the governor to come in. When he comes in, we are sure he will do justice to all manners of people. He is joining us without any hustles or rancour”, Atmas said.

Launching the a grassroots political structure ahead of 2027 General Elections in Lagos State, Jandor inaugurated 900 grassroots political coordinators to mobilise support for President Bola Tinubu’s re-election bid.
Speaking at the inauguration ceremony for the Lead Visioner of the Lagos4Lagos Movement held in Ikeja on Tuesday, Adediran said the initiative was self-funded and aimed at ensuring total victory for the APC in the 2027 General Elections.
He noted that while the Lagos4Lagos Movement had existed for nine years, it had been repositioned to strengthen the party’s grassroots structure and mobilise support for Tinubu’s second-term bid as well as for APC candidates across all levels in Lagos State.
“We know that campaigns have not started, but tomorrow starts today,” Adediran said. “What we are doing now is to put in place our structure across the 376 wards in Lagos State.
“We will work to ensure APC’s victory in 2027. Very soon, we will begin another ward tour to spread the message of President Bola Tinubu’s achievements across the state. The time to work is now”, he said.
