Bashir Ahmad, a former presidential aide to the late Muhammadu Buhari, has disclosed that the governor of Taraba State, Agbu Kefas, will soon be dumping the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

The former presidential aide made the announcement in a social media post on Tuesday, October 7, adding that the Taraba governor will be doing that alongside another governor in the north-west region of the country.

Currently, two of the Northwest governors are in the opposition party. They are Governors Dauda Lawal of Zamfara (PDP) and Abba Kabir Yusuf of Kano (New Nigeria Peoples Party, NNPP).

Since the emergence of President Bola Tinubu on May 29, 2023, at least two governors have left the PDP for the ruling APC. This is as the leadership of the ruling party always brags that many governors from the opposition would soon join. The PDP governors who have joined so far are Sheriff Oborevwori and Umo Eno of Delta and Akwa Ibom.
