In a decisive victory, Kefas has emerged as the governorship candidate for the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Taraba, garnering an impressive 166,357 votes against his rival Muazu Jaji, who secured only 4,110 votes. This outcome underscores a significant shift in the political landscape of Taraba State, where the APC aims to consolidate its presence amid a competitive environment.

Kefas, previously the party's state chairman, has been pivotal in mobilizing support and fostering unity within the APC. His selection reflects a strategic move to unify factions and appeal to a broader electorate ahead of the gubernatorial elections. "Our focus is on delivering good governance and addressing the challenges facing our people," Kefas stated, highlighting his commitment to the electorate.

As Taraba prepares for the upcoming elections, the APC's challenge will be to translate this primary victory into widespread support across the state. With divisions within the opposition and rising public discontent, Kefas’s leadership may provide the momentum needed to reshape Taraba's political future. The coming months will be crucial as he seeks to engage voters and establish a clear agenda.
