Reports indicate that some stakeholders within the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Taraba State have raised concerns over Governor Agbu Kefas’ reported choice of Hon. Zainab A. Ibrahim as his running mate ahead of the 2027 governorship election.
According to sources, some party figures in Jalingo and parts of Taraba North are said to have expressed reservations about the nomination, though the concerns have not been formally presented by the party or any identified stakeholder.
The development comes as Hon. Zainab Ibrahim reportedly engages with party stakeholders as part of consultations aimed at strengthening support and addressing concerns ahead of the formal submission of the APC governorship ticket to the party and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
Political observers say consultations and internal discussions are common within political parties ahead of major elections, as parties seek to balance competence, acceptability, zoning considerations, and unity among members.
As of the time of filing this report, there has been no official statement from Governor Agbu Kefas, Hon. Zainab Ibrahim, or the APC leadership in Taraba confirming or rejecting the reported concerns.
Further developments are expected as consultations continue ahead of the 2027 governorship election.
