Lawmakers from Taraba State, representing both the state and national levels, have jointly endorsed Governor Agbu Kefas by purchasing his expression of interest and nomination forms. Supporters describe this move as a significant show of unity and political consensus.
Historic Show of Confidence
The development was disclosed in a statement issued by the Agbu Kefas Continuity Movement, which commended the lawmakers for what it called a “historic and symbolic” demonstration of confidence in the governor’s leadership. According to the group, the lawmakers’ convergence in Abuja to complete the process reflects a shared commitment to sustaining the current administration’s policies and development agenda.
“This is not just about forms; it is about the will of the people expressed through their elected representatives,” the statement read, adding that the collective action signals alignment between political officeholders and their constituents.
Progress Under Kefas Administration
The movement attributed the show of support to what it described as visible progress under the Kefas administration, including reforms across key sectors and a governance approach focused on development and public welfare. It further noted that the unified stance by lawmakers sends a strong message ahead of the 2027 political cycle, suggesting that the state is coalescing around continuity and stability under the platform of the All Progressives Congress.
Describing the action as a reflection of earned trust rather than orchestrated support, the group maintained that the governor’s leadership style has inspired confidence among stakeholders.
Leadership and Courage
The statement, signed by Ibrahim Ardo, also commended the lawmakers for their “leadership and courage,” while expressing optimism that ongoing reforms and development efforts would be sustained. Observers say the endorsement may shape political alignments in Taraba State as preparations gradually begin for the next election cycle.
