During a visit to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu at the Presidential Villa, Kefas described himself as the APC leader in the state.

According to Governor Kefas, the collaboration between the Federal Government and his administration has delivered significant benefits to the people of Taraba, instilling confidence in President Tinubu's leadership. He cited the areas of security, free education, healthcare, and infrastructure as examples of the positive impact. Kefas emphasized that the people of Taraba are convinced that the Federal Government is responding to their needs through his administration.

He revealed that the people of Taraba have given him assurances of their support for Tinubu, citing the President's interventions in the state as a major factor. Kefas' statement is seen as a boost to the APC's chances in the state.
