Gov Kefas set to join APC January 2026
Taraba State chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Ibrahim Tukur, has confirmed that Governor Agbu Kefas will officially join the party in January 2026.
The governor had earlier shifted his planned defection from 19 November, explaining that it would be insensitive to hold political events while the country was dealing with the kidnapping of students in Kebbi State. He said the security crisis required full attention.
Speaking at a press conference in Jalingo on Sunday, Tukur revealed that the governor had already registered with the APC at the ward level, but the formal reception would no longer take place this month.
“December is already jam-packed with activities. We don’t want to drag people across the state when families are preparing for Christmas and the New Year,” he said.
Tukur added that Governor Kefas had met all membership requirements.
“The governor wrote to his ward executives, and they have duly received him. As far as party records are concerned, Governor Kefas is now a bona fide member of the APC,” he stated.
He also revealed that 15 members of the Taraba State House of Assembly, along with the entire state executive council, had joined the ruling party.
“What you are seeing is a natural realignment. Key stakeholders around the governor have joined him, and more are coming. There is absolutely no cause for alarm,” he said.
The chairman added that the party leadership had unanimously agreed that January would be more suitable for the event.
“We have met as a party and agreed that January is the best time. Once a specific date is agreed upon, we will communicate it to the public,” he added.
