A former governorship aspirant of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Taraba State, Prof. Jerome Nyameh, has returned to the party months after his resignation and declared his intention to contest the 2027 governorship election.
Nyameh, who had earlier left the PDP citing unresolved internal crises, said his decision to return followed recent developments indicating that the issues had largely been resolved.
He made this known while addressing journalists in Jalingo on Saturday.
The professor noted that he had completed his PDP e-registration, urging residents of Taraba State to also register, assuring that the platform is secure.
He expressed confidence in his chances, vowing to unseat the administration of Governor Agbu Kefas and restore what he described as the state’s lost glory.
"By God’s grace, I will contest for the governorship of Taraba State under the platform of the PDP in 2027. I have completed my PDP e-registration membership," he said.
"Following the judgment delivered on the 9th of this month, it is clear that the issues within the party are almost resolved. The court advised parties to settle out of court, and that is a welcome development. That is why some of us who left have now returned."
On his chances at the polls, Nyameh said the adoption of direct primaries would favour candidates with grassroots support.
"I will definitely win because I am with the people. With direct primaries, popularity will count," he added.
He also called on Tarabans and residents of the state to take advantage of the PDP e-registration exercise, reiterating that the process is safe and credible.
