The All Progressives Congress (APC) Unity and Reconciliation Forum has hailed Governor Dr. Agbu Kefas for his decision to join the ruling APC, describing it as a bold and patriotic move that will reshape the political landscape of the state.
Speaking at a press conference on Sunday in Jalingo, members of the forum expressed delight over the governor’s defection, calling it a “defining moment” that demonstrates sound political judgment and a genuine commitment to unity, development, and progress.
Led by its chairman, Linus D. Ibrahim, secretary, Sani Tulu, and vice chairman, Yinusa Jibo, the forum stated that Governor Kefas’ decision to align with the APC “will further energize the party’s structures, foster reconciliation among stakeholders, and open a new chapter of unity and purposeful governance.”
The group commended the governor for prioritizing the interest of the state above personal or partisan considerations, saying his move to the APC would strengthen the party’s presence across all 16 local government areas, restore confidence among members, and attract new supporters to the progressive fold.
The forum also praised the leadership of the APC at the national, zonal, and state levels for their maturity and openness in welcoming new members, noting that such inclusiveness will help the party achieve greater unity and good governance.
Reaffirming its loyalty to the APC, the forum pledged to work closely with stakeholders to ensure peace, unity, and reconciliation remain the foundation of the party’s collective success.
“We congratulate His Excellency once again and assure him of our unwavering support and partnership as he continues to deliver good governance and democratic dividends to our people under the banner of the All Progressives Congress,” the statement concluded.
