The rank of Governors who belong to the All Progressives Congress (APC) received a boost on Sunday as the Taraba State Governor, Agbu Kefas, officially registered as a member of the national ruling party.
Kefas was registered by the APC Hospital Ward executive at the Government House in Jalingo, the state capital, in the presence of party officials, Naijaonpoint reports.
