Jalingo, Feb. 2, 2026 (NAN) Mr Galadima Yusuf, a former Director, Department of Development Control in the Federal Capital Development Authority (FCDA), said the defection of Gov. Agbu Kefas of Taraba to the All Progressives Congress (APC) was a blessing to Taraba.
Yusuf made the declaration on Monday in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Jalingo.
He underscored the advantages of belonging to the party that controls the national government, adding that Taraba would henceforth enjoy tremendous support from the Federal Government.
The retired director, who is also a chieftain of the APC in the state solicited support from the people of the state for the governor to enable him achieve the desired transformation of the state.
He expressed his determination to support the administration of Kefas, adding that he is confident that the governor would not fail the people.
Yusuf also eulogised President Bola Tinubu and the entire APC family for their show of solidarity to the government and the people of the state for gracing the decamping ceremony of the governor from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) into the APC on Saturday.
“I feel the return of Gov. Kefas into the APC is a blessing to Taraba. His wisdom in keying into the vision of President Tinubu and the APC demonstrates his uncommon commitment and zeal to take the state to an enviable height.
“I am calling on the people of the state to support the governor to succeed in his vision to transform the state.
“On my part, I will support his administration and I am confident that he will not fail, especially with his coming into the progressives’s family,” he said.
The News Agency of Nigeria recalls that Kefas recently defected into the APC and was formerly received by President Tinubu, Sen. Godswill Akpabio, President of the Senate, Prof Nentawe Yelwatda, National Chairman of the APC among many party stalwarts. (NAN)
