The outgoing State Working Committee of the All Progressives Congress in Taraba State has endorsed Governor Agbu Kefas for a second term in the 2027 governorship election.
The committee also threw its weight behind President Bola Tinubu for re-election in the 2027 presidential poll.
Speaking with journalists in Jalingo on Monday, the Taraba APC Chairman, Alhaji Ibrahim El-Sudi, said the endorsements were based on what he described as the quality of leadership demonstrated by both leaders in their respective offices.
According to El-Sudi, since Kefas joined the APC, the party structure in the state has worked closely with him to consolidate what he termed a smooth political realignment process.
“The governor not only embraced the leadership of the party, but also ensured that our transition into the ruling party was smooth, peaceful and devoid of rancour — contrary to experiences in some other states.
This demonstrates his leadership, maturity and statesmanship,” he said.
He added that under an atmosphere of unity and cooperation, the party successfully conducted congresses across all 168 wards and 16 local government areas in the state with minimal challenges.
The chairman maintained that the decision to back Kefas for a second term and Tinubu for re-election was a reflection of the committee’s confidence in their leadership and commitment to governance.
Political observers say the endorsements signal early positioning within the party ahead of the 2027 general elections, as stakeholders move to consolidate internal cohesion and strengthen party structures at both state and national levels.
