According to him, PDP is poised to take over power from the All Progressives Congress (APC) in 2019 general elections.

He said PDP leadership got all its President aspirants to sign an agreement to support whoever that emerged as the presidential candidate of the party to confront APC in 2019 elections.

According to the Senator, the party has also reached an agreement with the presidential aspirants that, whoever wins will carry everybody along.

Bwacha said his decision to re-contest election for Senate seat was informed by his desire to bring development to the people of Taraba South and the state in general.

“I come from an area that is craving for development and not just my Senatorial zone, but also the entire North-east region which is badly in need of development.

“The elasticity of developing the region is a process that requires time before we can get to where we are supposed to be, in terms of development.”
