The All Progressives Congress (APC) has postponed the reception of the Executive Governor of Taraba State, His Excellency, Dr. Agbu Kefas, earlier scheduled to be held on Wednesday, November 19, 2025.
In a statement on Tuesday by Felix Morka, National Publicity Secretary, APC said a new date for the reception will be announced later.
According to the party, the postponement was made as a mark of honor to members of the armed forces and citizens killed recently by forces of terror, and respect for victims of related incidents of abductions especially of innocent students in Kebbi state by enemies of the state.
“We salute the courage and sacrifices of our men and women in uniform who put their lives on the line in defence of our liberty and security.
“As we mourn the death of our dear compatriots, we pray for the safe return of our innocent students taken from their families by forces of evil.
“Our great Party commiserates deeply with families of victims of these incidents.
“The President Bola Tinubu-led administration remains determined to stamp out the menace of insurgency and banditry within our borders, and bring these despicable perpetrators to justice,” the statement read.
Abuja Times reports that Governor Kefas had said he will join the APC on November 19.
Speaking with journalists on Saturday, the governor formally announced that he will be leaving the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the ruling party.
