Sen. Emmanuel Bwacha, representing Taraba South Senatorial District on Tuesday cleared the outstanding rent owed by the Taraba chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and paid the three months outstanding salaries of the staff.
Bwacha, who was the governorship candidate of the APC in the 2023 general elections, presented the money to the party officials at its secretariat in Jalingo.
Represented by Alhaji Abubakar Yahuza, the Deputy Minority Leader at the Taraba House of Assembly, Bwacha said the gesture was to ensure that the party continued to function properly in the state.
He urged the party to feel free to reach out to him whenever there was need as he would continue to do his best to keep the party afloat in the state.
Alhaji Ibrahim El-Suldi, the state Party Chairman, who received the donation for the rent and staff salaries, expressed gratitude to the senator for the gesture.
“We wish to place on record our appreciation for the efforts of Sen. Bwacha, our Gubernatorial Candidate in the just concluded general elections for his wonderful contribution to the building of our party in the state.
“So far, he is undoubtedly the highest financier of the APC in the state, having donated millions of Naira on several occasions as well as sustaining the payments of the party’s bills.
“This is in addition to the donation of vehicles to the party at all levels as well as the funding of the last general elections.
“We hereby express our appreciation for his latest gesture to settle our rents and clear the salary arrears of the staff,” the party chairman said.
He appealed to all APC members at all levels to emulate Bwacha to sustain the party.
“We also want to use this occasion to appeal to all estranged members of the party that the door remained open to those who are ready to retrace their steps and return to the party,” El-Sudi said.
