Gov Agbu Kefas
This is contained in a Public Statement by signed by the Governor.
‘My dear people of Taraba State,
Fellow Nigerians,
“In light of the deeply troubling incident of the kidnapping of innocent school girls in Kebbi State, I have taken the solemn decision to postpone my scheduled declaration and movement to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
“At a moment when our nation is once again confronted with the painful reality of insecurity, solidarity and compassion must rise above politics. The safety of our children — the most vulnerable and precious members of our society — is far more important than any political activity or ceremony.
“Today, my heart is with the families of the abducted children, with the Government and people of Kebbi State, and with every Nigerian who feels the weight of this tragic incident.
“As a father, as a leader, and as a governor whose administration has prioritized security, education, and the protection of the vulnerable, I believe it is morally right and nationally responsible to suspend all major political events until the situation receives the urgent attention it deserves.
“This is not a time for celebration.
It is a time for reflection, prayer, unity, and collective action.
“I call on all security agencies to intensify efforts to ensure the safe return of the girls.
“I also call on Nigerians to remain calm, vigilant, prayerful, and united in this difficult moment.
“A new date for my movement will be communicated after due consultations and when it is appropriate to do so.
“May God protect our daughters.
May God heal our land.
May God restore peace to every part of Nigeria.
“Dr. Agbu Kefas
Governor,
Taraba State.
18/11/25”.
