Agbu Kefas, the Taraba State Governor, has postponed his planned defection to the All Progressives Congress (APC) because of the recent kidnapping of schoolgirls in Kebbi State.
The governor said, “In the light of the deeply troubling incident of the kidnapping of innocent schoolgirls in Kebbi State, I have taken the solemn decision to postpone my scheduled declaration and movement to the All Progressive Congress.
“At a moment when our nation is once again confronted with the painful reality of insecurity, solidarity and compassion must rise above politics. The safety of our children, the most vulnerable and precious members of our society, is far more important than any political activities or ceremony.”
He also extended his thoughts and prayers to the families of the abducted children, the people of Kebbi State, and all Nigerians affected by the incident while also encouraging security agencies to ensure the safe return of the abducted girls.
Reports circulating suggested that the governor had planned to decamp from the People's Democratic Party (PDP) to the APC on 19 November, 2025.
