Taraba State Governor, Dr. Agbu Kefas has postponed his planned defection from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC) following the mass abduction of schoolgirls in Kebbi State.
He made this known while briefing news men in jalingo, the state capital.
Governor Kefas said he is prioritizing humanity over politics, noting that a new date for the defection rally would be announced later.
He extended his thoughts to the families of the abducted children, the government and people of Kebbi State, and all Nigerians affected by the incident, including President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
The governor emphasized that, given his commitment to security, education, and the protection of vulnerable citizens, “it is morally right and nationally responsible to suspend all political events until the situation receives the urgent attention it deserves.”
He further urged security agencies to intensify efforts to ensure the safe return of the kidnapped girls.
