ABUJA (PRECISE POST) – Ahead of the State Congress of the All Progressives Congress APC, the State chapter of the party has endorsed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Governor Agbu Kefas for President and governor respectively for 2027 general elections.
The State Chairman of the party Alhaji Ibrahim El-Sudi disclosed this at a Press briefing in Jalingo on Monday evening in the presence of other party officials at State and Local Government levels.
El-Sudi said that the governor “has been baptized with the progressives water of the APC and cleansed of the retrogressive spirit of the PDP that held him down previously.
“As you are aware, the tenure of the present Executive Committee of our party comes to an end tomorrow. We consider it a rare privilege and honour to have midwifed the historic transition of our great party from the opposition to the ruling party in Taraba State.
“Under this atmosphere of unity and cooperation, the party successfully conducted congresses across all the 168 wards and the sixteen Local Government Areas of the state with minimal challenges.
“It is also important to state that, through the Governor’s magnanimity and generous financial support, the party successfully carried out the electronic registration and revalidation exercise. As a result, Taraba State emerged as one of the highest-performing states in the exercise. Membership registration continues to grow steadily across all councillor wards in the state.
“We further commend His Excellency for providing exemplary leadership by ensuring that congresses were conducted freely and fairly, with due respect for ward and local government stakeholders. This inclusive approach has strengthened unity and internal democracy within the party.
“In these few months of collaboration, we have come to appreciate his personal qualities as a receptive, patriotic, and hardworking leader whose commitment to the development of Taraba State is unquestionable. He has consistently demonstrated sincerity of purpose and an unrelenting zeal to provide purposeful leadership while creating opportunities for all citizens to contribute their quota to the progress of the state.
“In view of the foregoing, we the members of the State Working Committee and all other organs of the APC in Taraba State, hereby formally and unequivocally endorse His Excellency, Dr. Agbu Kefas, to continue as the next Governor of Taraba State.
“This endorsement will enable him to consolidate on the gains already made, complete ongoing projects, and initiate new developmental programmes for the continued progress and prosperity of our dear state.
“We therefore call on all party members and the good people of Taraba State to rally round and give their unwavering support to His Excellency, Dr. Agbu Kefas, as well as to the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, as we collectively pursue the noble cause of progress, unity, and national development” the statement reads in parts.
