Taraba State Governor, Agbu Kefas, has dismissed claims that cash influenced his resolution to go away the Peoples Democratic Social gathering for the All Progressives Congress.

He stated his transfer to the All Progressives Congress was based mostly on private conviction and the curiosity of Taraba State, not {financial} rewards.
Reacting on to the allegation, Kefas said, “No one gave me cash to defect to the APC.” He confused that his resolution was rigorously thought of and geared toward positioning the state for higher cooperation with the Federal Authorities.
On politics, the governor expressed confidence in delivering Taraba State for President Tinubu within the 2027 presidential election. He stated ongoing initiatives and insurance policies on the grassroots have strengthened public belief in his administration.
Kefas stated his assembly with the president targeted on safety, agriculture and welfare points affecting residents of the state.
He described the dialogue as productive and stated it might enhance collaboration between Taraba and the Federal Authorities.
The governor additional urged residents to embrace peace and unity, noting the overlap of the Christian Lenten season and the Muslim Ramadan interval. He stated the second requires prayers and collective dedication to nationwide growth.
