Fulani Youth Group in Taraba state on Sunday urged the Senate minority leader, Senator Emmanuel Bwacha to contest for the Governorship of the state come 2023.

The leader of the Fulani Youth group, Abdulrazak Mahmud, told journalists during an interaction in jalingo that they are joining other like minds in the state to call on the Senator to contest for the governorship seat of Taraba state in 2023 because of his outstanding leadership qualities, experience and performance.

“ In Bwacha we see a worthy leader with experience, human kindness and a deep knowledge of power politics.

“Hence our appeal is for him to contest the governorship seat of Taraba state in 2023 because Bwacha is detrabalised and has the ability to move taraba to an enviable status.

“Our goal as a group is to campaign, sensitize, advocate, organize and mobilize not less than 50,000 Hausa-Fulani across Taraba state to vote for Senator Emmanuel Bwacha come 2023.

Reacting, the Senate Deputy Minority Leader and Senator representing Taraba Southern Senatorial Zone, Emmanuel Bwacha, said he is under tremendous pressure from various interest groups to contest the governorship seat of Taraba state in 2023.

“I am yet to decide if i would contest the number one seat of Taraba but would announce when i finally accept the numerous calls.

“I have not made public declaration about my gubernatorial ambition but it is no longer news that I am under tremendous pressure to run for the governorship of the state and I am trusting God that at the fullness of time I will make this open declaration.

“I believe this pressure is flowing from a pure heart from the people who genuinely mean well for this state because what we need in Taraba that I so much love is to put it on the National map.

“The Taraba that I am dreaming of is one that can compete favourably among committee of states.

“My representation which has endeared me to the people is by the grace and mercy of God. I am trusting God that this is what would be reflected in a larger Taraba state if it pleases God for me to serve at a wider scope beyond Southern Taraba senatorial district – he said.
