Gembu, Taraba State — A broad coalition of traditional leaders, elders, and community stakeholders on the Mambilla Plateau has declared support for the senatorial ambition of Accord Party candidate for Taraba Central, Dr. Victor Falack.

The endorsement was announced during Falack’s official declaration held at his residence in Gembu, headquarters of Sardauna Local Government Area, on Sunday, July 12, 2026, where a large crowd of supporters gathered in a show of strength.

Mambilla elders, led by Elder Baba Takum, publicly backed the candidate, describing him as a credible and unifying figure capable of representing the diverse interests of the district. In a similar vein, Hausa/Fulani elders under the leadership of Alhaji Iya Maigari also endorsed Falack, pledging their support for his bid.

Leaders and representatives of various ethnic groups across the Mambilla Plateau were present at the event, with speakers taking turns to express confidence in Falack’s leadership capacity and commitment to inclusive development.

Addressing the gathering, Dr. Falack outlined his vision for Taraba Central, emphasizing unity, effective representation, and accelerated development across communities. He pledged to champion policies that would improve infrastructure, education, and economic opportunities in the district.

“This is a collective movement for the progress of our people,” Falack said. “I am committed to representing every community and ensuring that Taraba Central gets the quality representation it deserves.”

The event marks the formal launch of his senatorial campaign and signals early momentum, as endorsements from key blocs across the Mambilla Plateau position him as a strong contender in the race.

Political observers say the convergence of support from Mambilla and Hausa/Fulani leaders reflects a growing consensus around Falack’s candidacy, a development that could significantly shape the dynamics of the upcoming election.
