Also speaking the federal commissioner of Taraba, Alhaji Ahmed Yusuf explained that with two out of three Senators, four out of six House of Representatives members, five members of State House of Assembly and Federal appointees, APC was strong enough to capture power in Taraba State by 2023.
“Taraba State is a PDP government for now but when people are dissatisfied with one thing they are naturally bound to change.”
“Today our chances are even greater with all the commonality of the people. The first step for us is to ensure that we capture power in Taraba state. So, we have the greatest chance with the unity that we have,” the Senator said.
“We are privileged to be the first State to pay a solidarity visit to the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress. This visit is propelled by the fact that we are a family and we need to show the way that indeed we are one united by common purpose.
“Today our chances are even greater with all the commonality of the people. The first step for us is to ensure that we capture power in Taraba state. So, we have the greatest chance with the unity that we have,” the Senator said.
“With all the array of personalities here now, those who will join us and many stalwarts who are in the APC, we make bold that come 2023 we are going to capture government house and not just government house but other positions in Taraba state.
“Moreso, when the National Chairman himself gave us a marching order and template; if we use the template by the grace of God we will win the election. We have two former SSGs who are part of us as well. The Chairman told us that the most important thing is to unite not socially but politically. We associate socially but we must translate our social bond into political bond so that we will win the election. That is the number one item on that template and we are going to adhere strictly to that.
Again, we want to leave a legacy not only for ourselves but we want history to be kind to us. So, what role have we played in politics that we will want future generations to remember us for? We need to lay that foundation and the only way to lay that foundation is to be united and push our collective interest so that history will be kind to us” they stressed.
The party leaders were led by Senator Emmanuel Bwacha, immediate past Deputy Senate Minority Leader, representing the Taraba Central Senatorial Zone, Senator Yusuf Abubakar-Yusuf, the Commissioner in the Federal Revenue Allocation, and Fiscal Commission, Alhaji Ahmed Yusuf and others
