In a major political shift, the Leader of the Legislative Council of Yorro LGA in Taraba State, Hon. Doris Konla, alongside the Deputy Leader and all elected councilors, formally announced their defection to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The announcement was made today during plenary at the Legislative Chambers in Yorro, following the swearing-in ceremony of the newly elected councilors earlier at the Local Government Headquarters in Pantisawa.
Reading the jointly signed letter on behalf of the councilors, Hon. Konla stated said, “We hereby formally announce our defection to the All Progressives Congress (APC) in support of the ‘Renewed Hope Agenda’ of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.”
The letter further emphasized the council’s alignment with the political direction of the state’s chief executive.
She added, “We are solidly behind President Tinubu and our leader, Governor Agbu Kefas, as we await his formal declaration to join the APC.”
The mass defection marks a significant realignment within Yorro’s political landscape, signaling a growing consolidation of support for the APC across Taraba State.
