Taraba State Governor, Agbu Kefas, has hinted that the Deputy National Women Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Zainab Ibrahim, may emerge as his running mate for the 2027 governorship election. During the protocol session, the governor introduced Ibrahim as the “future deputy governor of Taraba State”, while Yilwatda also referred to her as the “incoming deputy governor”. Kefas commended the APC leadership for organising a state-wide medical outreach as part of activities marking Yilwatda’s birthday. “For us in Taraba State, we are all for the APC to pay back what Mr President has done for us. Mr Chairman, here in Taraba, we in the APC are not contesting elections with anybody.
