The Taraba State Unity, Progressive and Reconciliation Forum has thrown its weight behind the anticipated defection of Governor Agbu Kefas from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
In a communiqué issued on Wednesday, the forum described the governor’s expected crossover as a “welcome development”, applauding his decision as a step toward strengthening governance and accelerating development in Taraba State.
“We welcome His Excellency’s decision to join the APC as a move that will further enhance progress and development in our great state. His leadership and wealth of experience will be invaluable to the party,” the statement read.
The communiqué, jointly signed by the forum’s chairman, Ibrahim Waziri, and secretary, Sani Tulu, urged Governor Kefas to join the APC unconditionally, advising him to do so without imposing terms that might conflict with the party’s core values and principles.
The group also assured the governor of total support from APC members and pledged collaboration toward achieving the party’s vision for a more prosperous Taraba.
“We want to assure the governor that he will be received with open arms and provided with every necessary support to contribute meaningfully to the APC’s mission of building a better Taraba State,” the statement added.
The forum further appealed to APC members across the state to welcome Governor Kefas and his supporters warmly, stressing the need for unity, inclusiveness, and teamwork to strengthen the party and advance Taraba’s development.
“The Taraba State Unity, Progressive and Reconciliation Forum reiterates its readiness to work closely with the governor and the APC leadership to pursue shared goals and deliver sustainable growth. We are confident that this development will mark the beginning of a new era of progress and stability in Taraba State,” the communiqué concluded.
