Following the perfected plans by Taraba State Governor, Agbu Kefas to defect from People’s Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressive Congress (APC), the state chairman of the APC, Ibrahim El-Suldi, has disclosed that the state’s government house his party has been yearning for 13 years ago has been granted by God without going to polls.

The chairman assured party members and the people of the state that the governor’s defection will bring improved development, especially in infrastructure, once Kefas joins the “Progressive Governors”.
He said party leaders, stakeholders, and members are thrilled to welcome the governor to APC.

“Very soon, particularly on the 4th of November, we shall converge in Jalingo to work on modalities to formerly receive him in our party.
“Obviously he is a seating Governor, he has done one or two things to his credit, for his remaining two years, we will ginger him to work hard as a progressive governor to develop Taraba state massively.
El-Suldi disclosed that as a democratic party, APC will not close his doors for other party members, who would want to contest for the governorship under platform of the party in the state.
