It’s been several months of Observing how the governorship election holding today Saturday, 18th Of March, 2023 will be. The candidates have been checked and as it stands, PDP’s Kefas Agbu seems to be the one with the brighter chance.
Among other contenders, his closest rival is the candidate of the APC, Emmanuel Bwacha but his candidacy has been rocked with so many scandals and crises. His followers are in a confused state as they don’t know if he is in the election or not following the different court cases that nullified his election as the APC candidate.
Despite the fact that another primary election was conducted, his party suspended him for anti-party activities and till today being the Election Day, he still remains suspended as the candidate of the APC. This has caused confusion in his camp and translated to a major boost for the victory of Kefas Agbu in the election.
Emmanuel Bwacha’s traditional voters will most likely throw their weight behind Kefas Agbu because they are scared of wasting their votes. They don’t just want to vote for someone whose candidacy isn’t confirmed and one who isn’t in the good books of his party. This is one of the reasons Kefas Agbu will win the election.
Another reason Kefas Agbu will come out victorious is the APC chapter in Taraba are bent on seeing Emmanuel Bwacha lose the election today. They will be voting but not for him, they are definitely voting Kefas Agbu whom they consider as a better choice to Emmanuel Bwacha even though he isn’t in their party. Bwacha has done so much against the APC in the state and the members have decided to mobilize against him in the election.
The third reason is Kefas Agbu is widely accepted in Taraba state. He is not a newbie in Taraba politics, he once served as the PDP chairman in the state, has been in the state for many years and has contributed immensely to the security of the state. His campaign left no stone unturned because he went to the most rural areas politicians don’t ordinarily go to during their rallies. The masses are with Kefas Agbu and that’s the most important thing.
