Governor Agbu Kefas of Taraba State has expressed his state's unwavering support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election. During a meeting with the President, Governor Kefas stated that Taraba State is "100 per cent" behind the All Progressives Congress (APC). He attributed this loyalty to the federal government's interventions in security, education, healthcare, and infrastructure, which have significantly improved the lives of the state's residents.
Governor Kefas highlighted the tangible benefits of the President's support, citing improvements in security, education, and healthcare. He mentioned that the state's residents are experiencing firsthand the positive impact of Tinubu's administration, which has reassured them of his commitment to their welfare. As a result, the people of Taraba State are confident that they will reciprocate this support at the polls in 2027.
The Governor emphasized that his visit to the President was not only to pledge Taraba State's support but also to welcome Tinubu back and offer condolences over the recent Nigerian Air Force aircraft crash in Ondo State. The incident, which claimed the lives of military personnel and other citizens, was described as a national tragedy by Governor Kefas.
During his meeting with State House correspondents, Governor Kefas reiterated that Taraba State is solidly behind the APC. He expressed his satisfaction with the level of support the state has received from the federal government, which has, in turn, strengthened the residents' confidence in the administration.
Governor Kefas' declaration of Taraba State's support for Tinubu's re-election bid is a significant boost to the President's campaign. As the leader of the APC in Taraba State, Governor Kefas' endorsement is expected to galvanize support for the party in the state.
The Governor's visit to the President was also an opportunity for him to discuss the state's specific needs and challenges. While details of their discussion were not made public, Governor Kefas' comments suggest that Taraba State is poised to benefit from further federal government interventions.
With Taraba State firmly behind the APC, Governor Kefas' pledge of support is set to have a positive impact on the party's fortunes in the state. As the 2027 presidential election approaches, it remains to be seen how other states will respond to Tinubu's re-election bid.
