Emmanuel Bwacha, the Taraba governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress, says the Jalingo Division of the Federal High Court judgment, which affirmed him as the party’s authentic candidate, is a sign of victory at the poll.

Aaron Artimas, the spokesperson for Bwacha Governorship Campaign Council, said this when he spoke with journalists on Thursday in Jalingo.

“The court and INEC have cleared the lies of PDP against the APC, and it is now clear for Taraba people to vote for Senator Emmanuel Bwacha as governor of Taraba. Bwacha’s name is on the INEC portal, and he remains the authentic governorship candidate of APC,” said Mr Artimas.

He added, “I want to call on all Taraba people to be informed that Bwacha is the APC governorship candidate, his name is on the INEC Portal, the court and INEC have cleared the fake news being spread by the PDP against Bwacha and APC. Do not be deceived by the PDP that Bwacha’s name is not on the INEC portal. Bwacha is on the portal; court and the INEC have cleared him, and he is on the portal.”

According to him, Mr Bwacha is the only person to make Taraba people smile again, as “Jolly Nyame and the late Danbaba Suntai did.” 

“Bwacha’s first project would be the payment of all outstanding pensions and gratuity and the unity of all Taraba people. He will return all displaced persons to their ancestral homes, and there would be no more ethnic clashes as being wetness in the state,” Mr Artimas explained.

He said the “issues are so dearly to Bwacha’s mind,” and the APC gubernatorial candidate would tackle them first before embarking on the “proper development” of Taraba.

The court on Wednesday affirmed Mr Bwacha as the valid candidate of the APC in the March 18 governorship election.
