The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, has issued a stern warning to governors currently under the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), urging them to defect to the ruling party or face the end of their political careers in 2027.
Speaking in Jalingo during the official ceremony welcoming Governor Agbu Kefas into the APC, Yilwatda asserted that staying with the opposition would be a fatal political error.
“Envisage that, the PDP will not only sink them into a deep ocean, it will destroy their political futures if they remain in the party,” he cautioned.

The APC Chairman lauded Governor Kefas’s decision to switch sides, describing it as a strategic “shifting cultivation” away from a failing institution.
He noted that joining the APC provides Taraba State a level of security that requires no safety net, stating that being in the party is an assurance that the state is “safe, without using a life jacket.”
Yilwatda framed the defection as a major win for the local population, linking it directly to the policies of the current administration.
“The move from PDP to APC is the biggest achievement he has done for the people of Taraba, shifting and aligning with the federal government and what President Tinubu is doing at the center so that all the benefits at the center will come to Taraba State,” he said.
Using biblical imagery to emphasize the urgency of the situation, the Chairman invited the remaining PDP members to seek refuge within the APC.
“Mr. Governor, you have done nothing wrong and we welcome you to this biggest house, where I can say proudly that, in my father’s house there are many missions that will accommodate the governor and the people of Taraba State, that will accommodate even the remnant of PDP left,” he remarked.
He concluded by urging others to act before it is too late for the next election cycle.
“We are giving you a life line. The time to come back and be saved and join the biggest ship of Noah, the time is now. Come and be saved, come and be part of the center, don’t destroy your political future by remaining in the sinking ship. Come and align with the center to be part and parcel of the government that we are forming in 2027,” Yilwatda declared.
