The Peoples Democratic Party’s governorship candidate in Taraba State, Lt. Col. Agbu Kefas (retd), is optimistic that the party will retain power after its strong performance in the recent presidential and National Assembly elections in the state. He praised the PDP’s achievements and pledged to continue working toward taking Taraba State to the “Promised Land.”
Kefas made these remarks in Abuja on Friday night after accompanying two senators‑elect to collect their Certificates of Return from the Independent National Electoral Commission. The senators‑elect are the state’s current deputy governor, Haruna Manu (Taraba Central), and Shuaibu Lau (Taraba North). Kefas said, “Our great party, the PDP, will continue to shine. There’s no vacancy for the opposition in Taraba State because we have done well and we promise to do more as we take the state to the Promised Land. Our determination to retain power on Saturday, March 18, 2023, is a battle of no retreat, no surrender. Our theme is moving forward, and as you can see, we are already surging ahead in the poll.”
In earlier remarks, the senators‑elect affirmed their commitment to the PDP’s victory, noting that they traveled with the governorship candidate as part of his entourage. Manu emphasized that the PDP’s dominance in the national legislature would provide Kefas’s administration with the substantial support needed to advance Taraba State. Lau pledged to work assiduously to deliver Kefas in the northern zone, asserting that the PDP is the only party capable of guaranteeing development.
