Senate Deputy Minority Leader Defects to APC

The Senate Deputy Minority Leader, Emmanuel Bwacha, has defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

Bwacha, while stating his reason for his defection, has said he knew from the home front that is where there would be a level playing ground in the APCBwacha, a founding member of the PDP, was received by President Muhammadu Buhari at the State House in Abuja.

He was accompanied by the Chairman, APC Caretaker Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee and Governor of Yobe State, Mai Mala Buni.

The Senator who represents Taraba South in the National Assembly noted that the present administration had accomplished many things like the Kashimbila Dam project, completed to the delight of his constituents.

According to him, “I chose the APC because I know from the home front that is where there will be a level playing ground, number one,” he said.

“Then number two, the Ibi Bridge, which had been awarded and work is ongoing, was awarded under President Muhammadu Buhari.

Nobody from my senatorial district is unhappy about this project because this has been our cry since the colonial days.

“Also, under his watch, the Kashimbila Dam project had been completed. So, I had to answer my constituents’ calls to join this party and redefine the narrative in Taraba State and restore its lost glory.

“Going forward, I am calling on all and sundry to join forces together so that we can build a better Taraba, where governance will be seen as the hope of the people and where development of infrastructure will be a key priority. Basically, that is my mission statement. Thank you very much.”
