Tinubu stated this on Saturday during the official reception of Gov. Agbu Kefas into the APC held in Jalingo.

Represented by Sen. Kashim Shettima, Vice President, Tinubu announced that Gov. Kefas has assumed the leadership of the party in Taraba by virtue of his defection from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) into the APC.

He expressed his determination to support the governor and his cabinet in bringing development to Taraba.

He noted that the governor was making efforts to unite the state and harmonise the diversities in the state to attain unity.

The president urged the people of the state to rally behind the governor and support him to succeed.

He expressed satisfaction with the defection of a governor in the North East geopolitical zone, calling on both Adamawa and Bauchi to join the party at the centre.

Earlier, Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, National Chairman of the APC, commended Kefas for being courageous by decamping to the ruling party.

Yilwatda said that Kefas did not make a mistake by leaving the sinking PDP to the APC.
