The Seyi Tinubu City Boy Movement in Taraba State has expressed its support to Governor Agbu Kefas on his reception into the All Progressives Congress (APC), describing the development as the beginning of a new political era for the state.
In a congratulatory statement signed by its Taraba State Director, Hon. Prince Sanusi Galadima, and made available to our correspondent on Monday, the group described the defection ceremony as an unprecedented show of unity and political maturity by APC members and residents of the state during the governor’s reception.
“What Taraba witnessed was not a ceremony—it was a declaration,” Galadima said. “A declaration that the people have chosen progress over stagnation, hope over hesitation, and unity over division.”
He said the massive turnout at the event was a clear indication that the state was ready to align with the federal government and benefit fully from what he described as Nigeria’s progressive future.
The City Boy Movement also commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for what it termed visionary leadership, crediting him with reshaping Nigeria’s political landscape under the Renewed Hope Agenda.
“We salute the Renewed Hope Commander, His Excellency Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, whose courageous and visionary leadership has reshaped the political landscape of Nigeria,” Galadima stated, adding that the APC had become “the most attractive, most inclusive, and most powerful political platform in Africa today.”
According to him, Governor Kefas’ entry into the APC would translate into stronger federal presence, accelerated development, and expanded economic opportunities for Taraba State.
“This alignment opens the door for real dividends of democracy and positions Taraba State as a major stakeholder in the Renewed Hope Agenda,” he said.
Galadima further pledged the movement’s loyalty to the APC in the state, saying it was prepared to mobilize support at the grassroots level, particularly among young people.
“The City Boy Movement hereby declares its total commitment to the APC project in Taraba State,” he said. “We stand ready to mobilise the grassroots, energise the youth, and defend progressive governance at all levels,” he added.
