SEN EMMANUEL BWACHA HAS NO MORAL RIGHT TO QUESTION GOV KEFAS AGBU ON ACCOUNTABILITY
The latest outburst from Senator Emmanuel Bwacha is yet another cheap, desperate attempt to recycle stale political propaganda under the thin guise of wanting the best for Tarabans.
The same political actor who sat comfortably and watched Taraba struggle and decay for years now suddenly wants to lecture an administration that is busy rebuilding schools, paying salaries as due, clearing inherited pension obligations, constructing roads, and restoring real confidence in governance.
His sudden, theatrical love for accountability would have carried even the slightest weight if he had practised any of it when he actually had influence over the affairs of this state. He did not. He never did.
The question still stands: what happened to the cars in Federal University Wukari that he hoarded like personal palliative? He wants to use them for his political campaign. He has no moral position whatsoever to talk about the debt profile of Taraba.
Since he is now so loudly interested in accountability, let him tell Tarabans the truth: why, in 1983, while his colleagues were graduating from Secondary School in Takum, he could not? We all know that this latest outburst is just the residual smoke from the stick of weed he was caught with; the same one that led to his academic stagnation. Is that the foundation on which he wants to lead Taraba?
Sen Bwacha’s entire 12 years as senator and others years spent in other offices remain permanently marred by tribalism, nepotism, serial failures, glaring ineptitude, and the classic divide-and-rule syndrome. That is the real record.
Let it be stated clearly and without apology that Sen Emmanuel Bwacha is seeking the high office of Governor of Taraba State for one reason only: to make money and to grab power. For him, making the lives of Tarabans better has always been secondary, if not completely immaterial. In fact, he treats it as the one thing still missing from his long personal ambition.
It is rather unfortunate, and frankly insulting, that those who watched this state decay for years have now appointed themselves auditors of progress.
This government remains accountable only to the people of Taraba, not to political blackmail, not to recycled bitterness, and not to a man whose relevance depends on constant drama.
Every legitimate loan obtained by the state followed due process, serves clearly defined developmental purposes, and remains subject to established oversight mechanisms. We will continue to speak to Tarabans through facts, through projects on the ground, and through transparent governance, not through the cheap sensationalism Sen Emmanuel Bwacha specializes in.
Tarabans are wise enough. They can distinguish genuine accountability from a desperate campaign of distraction. From the way he talks, it is clear he has not left behind the same thing that took him out of secondary school in Takum. When you tell people that drugs are not good for them, they simply refuse to understand.
