He said: “I opted to join the APC because I know from the home front that there will be a level playing ground here.

“ Secondly, the contract for Ibi Bridge was awarded by President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration, everybody in my senatorial district is happy about this project because this has been our cry since the colonial days.

“Also, under his watch, the Kashimbila Dam project was completed. So, I had to answer to the calls of my constituents to join this party and redefine the narrative in Taraba State and restore its lost glory.”
