President Bola Tinubu has revealed the real leaders of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in different states across the federation.
Speaking at the official reception of Governor Agbu Kefas of Taraba State in Jalingo, Tinubu declared that the APC is under the leadership of every state governor in the country.
The president, who was represented by Vice President Kashim Shettima, said that Governor Kefas is now the leader of the APC in Taraba State by virtue of his defection from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the APC.
The president reiterated his determination to support the governor and his cabinet to bring development to Taraba State.
According to him, the governor has been making efforts to unite the state and harmonise its diversity to achieve unity.
“I urge you all in Taraba to rally behind the governor and support him to succeed.

“I am satisfied with the defection of a governor in the North-East geopolitical zone, and I want both Adamawa and Bauchi to join the party at the centre,” the president said.
The immediate-past National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress APC, Dr Abdullahi Umar Ganduje has dismissed claims that northern Nigeria will withdraw its support for President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 general elections, describing such projections as a “big mistake.”
The former Kano State governor asserted that there is currently no southern candidate more suited to lead Nigeria beyond 2027 than the incumbent President.
Ganduje spoke on Friday in Abuja when he received a delegation of the Northern Nigeria Youth Leaders Forum which decorated him as their Grand Patron and also pledged their early loyalty to the President’s re-election bid.
He emphasized that Nigeria is fortunate to be led by a “pure politician” whose career has been defined by a struggle for democracy.
