Jalingo, Taraba State, NIGERIA — Governor Agbu Kefas formally accepted his Expression of Interest and Nomination Forms for a second term in office. On Saturday. A delegation of the Taraba State House of Assembly and members of the National Assembly presented the forms to the Governor, signaling a unified front behind his 2027 re-election bid.
The Governor expressed “sheer gratitude” for the gesture, describing it as a profound show of solidarity and trust from the legislative arm.
Okay News reports that this move aligns with the broader trend observed this week in Lagos and Adamawa, where incumbent and aspiring leaders are consolidating their positions ahead of the May 30 primary deadline. Kefas reaffirmed his commitment to the Renewed Hope Agenda, promising to deliver more “dividends of democracy” to the people of Taraba.
The endorsement of Governor Kefas by both state and federal lawmakers is viewed as a strategic masterstroke to deter potential internal challengers within the APC. This “show of strength” comes just as neighboring Adamawa State sees a major shift with Senator Aisha Binani’s defection to the NDC.
