Political tension is already heating up in Taraba State as Senator Emmanuel Bwacha ignites controversy with a bold declaration: “We must take back our state from vampires.”

The explosive remark, reportedly made during a political gathering, has quickly gone viral, drawing sharp reactions across party lines. According to Daily Trust and TheCable, Bwacha used the metaphor to criticize what he described as years of poor governance and mismanagement in the state.

Supporters say the statement reflects growing frustration among citizens ahead of the 2027 elections, while critics argue that such charged language could further inflame political divisions in an already tense environment.

Observers note that Taraba’s political landscape is beginning to take shape earlier than expected, with key figures positioning themselves and rhetoric becoming increasingly intense.

As reactions continue to pour in, one thing is clear—Taraba’s road to 2027 may be anything but quiet.
