Political activity is intensifying in Taraba State as the All Progressives Congress (APC) prepares for its governorship primary, with growing signs of a heated contest ahead.

The primary race is shaping up as a major showdown, with party stakeholders and aspirants jostling for the party’s ticket. Among the key figures in the race is Kefas, who is reportedly facing stiff opposition from other strong contenders within the party.

The development has triggered widespread discussions among party members, as different blocs begin to position themselves ahead of the selection process. Internal consultations, lobbying, and negotiations are reportedly ongoing as aspirants seek to secure delegate support.

Political observers say the build-up reflects the high stakes involved in the upcoming elections, with Taraba State seen as a strategically important battleground for major political parties.

The APC primary is expected to test the strength of party unity in the state, as competing interests and ambitions continue to shape alliances. Intra-party contests of this nature often determine not just candidates, but also the direction of campaign strategies going into the general election.

While official guidelines for the primary process remain in place, the level of competition suggests a closely watched and potentially tense exercise.

As the date draws closer, attention will remain on how the party manages internal differences and whether it can present a united front after the primary outcome is decided.
