• Chief Press Secretary Yusuf Sanda announces appointment to Taraba’s governor’s office in Jalingo
• Campaign Council to be inaugurated on August 2, 2023, at party secretariat

Governor Agbu Kefas of Taraba State has been named the head of the Bayelsa State National Campaign Council by the PDP’s National Working Committee (NWC).

The announcement of the appointment was made to media on Sunday in Taraba’s capital city of Jalingo by Yusuf Sanda, the state governor’s chief press secretary.

In advance of this year’s November 11 governorship election, Kefas will lead the 122-member team to the state, according to the announcement.

The action is intended to mobilise support for Governor Douye Diri of Bayelsa State’s reelection campaign in the upcoming governorship election in the state, according to the statement.

“This important national assignment is in recognition of the sterling leadership qualities and democratic credentials of Dr Agbu Kefas, which have been applauded at home and abroad,” the statement avowed.

The Campaign Council, according to the statement, will be inaugurated on Wednesday, August 2, 2023, at the national secretariat of the party in Abuja.

While Governor Diri will be flying the PDP flag in the forthcoming governorship election in Bayelsa, Timipre Sylva, the main opposition candidate, will be contesting on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
