“Only a foolish man will not do anything to save his life when he is hold to ransom, one of my official was shot and presently battling with his life , so we had to concour and do their bidding”.

“Election held and One senator Emmanuel Bwacha is the winner and we have since declare him, am not from Taraba and i hope they will solve their crisis internally”.he said.
