Abuja, Dec. 1, 2025 – President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Monday held a strategic meeting with Governor Agbu Kefas of Taraba State at the Presidential Villa in Abuja. The governor was accompanied by the All Progressives Congress (APC) National Chairman, Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, as the discussions took place behind closed doors.
This marked Governor Kefas’s first visit to the State House since his defection from the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the APC. His formal reception into the ruling party had initially been scheduled for November 19, but the event was postponed following the abduction of schoolgirls in Kebbi State—a crisis that has since been resolved with the safe release of the girls.
While neither President Tinubu nor Governor Kefas spoke to State House correspondents after the meeting, sources suggest that both political strategy and security matters were likely discussed. Analysts note that the visit underscores the APC’s efforts to consolidate support in key states ahead of the 2027 elections.
