2027: Gov Kefas Names Veteran Journalist Emmanuel Bello Campaign Spokesman

 

Taraba State Governor, Agbu Kefas, has appointed veteran journalist and media strategist, Emmanuel Bello, as the spokesman for his 2027 governorship campaign organisation, signalling the commencement of preparations ahead of the next governorship election.

The appointment was announced in a statement issued by the Director-General of the Campaign Organisation, Danladi Baido, who said Bello would oversee the campaign’s communication strategy and serve as its official spokesperson.

Bello brings decades of experience in journalism, public communication and government media management to the role. Before his latest appointment, he served as Commissioner for Information under two different administrations in Taraba State, where he played key roles in shaping government communication and public engagement.

He began his journalism career as a reporter with the Daily Trust newspaper before moving on to work with several leading media organisations, including Leadership Newspapers, THISDAY and ARISE News, where he served until recently.

Bello currently serves as the Special Adviser on Media and Digital Communications to Governor Kefas, a position in which he has been responsible for coordinating the governor’s media relations and digital communication strategy. His appointment as campaign spokesman is expected to strengthen the campaign’s messaging as political activities gradually gather momentum ahead of the 2027 governorship election.
