The defection came ahead of the planned defection of Agbu Kefas, governor of Taraba, to the APC.

In a viral video, the lawmakers were seen swapping their caps for those emblazoned with the insignia of President Bola Tinubu. The legislators were also handed brooms, the symbol of the APC.

Recall that in a chat with journalists, the governor formally announced that he would be leaving the PDP for the ruling party.

Kefas said the defection “has to do with the destiny of Taraba people”, and that he will be “expecting a lot of visitors” for the ceremony.

“There is going to be a major shift and alignment on November 19,” the governor said.

“I will officially transition from PDP to APC. It is a movement that has to do with the destiny of Taraba people.”

Kefas is the latest governor to trade the PDP for the APC in 2025.

Other governors who have defected from the PDP include Umo Eno of Akwa Ibom, Sheriff Oborevwori of Delta, Peter Mbah of Enugu, and Douye Diri of Bayelsa.
