Bulus Maiyaki, secretary of the Directorate of Grassroots Engagement and  Mobilisation for North-East under the Presidential Campaign Council for President Bola Tinubu 2027, has donated five transformers to some communities in Southern Taraba.

Mr Maiyaki made this known on Wednesday while presenting the transformers to the representatives of the benefiting communities in Jalingo.

He said the gesture was to boost electricity supply in those communities, adding that more such interventions are coming if the tempo of support for Mr Tinubu and Governor Agbu Kefas is sustained.

Mr Maiyaki, the deputy director-general of the Governor Agbu Kefas Moving Forward Campaign Council in Southern Taraba, added that voting for the APC from top to bottom would be another catalyst to attract more power interventions to communities across Southern Taraba.

Mr Maiyaki further promised 1,000 solar street lights and solar home systems to communities that would support the APC from top to bottom in forthcoming general elections.

He said he had donated 5,000 solar street lights, 31 transformers and many Solar Home Systems to various communities in the region, especially those without access to power supply.

“To me, power is not just about light. It is about life, business, education and dignity, and I believe that when a community has light, its children can read at night, its traders can preserve their goods, and its youths can learn a trade.

“I am donating these transformers to the communities not only to further strengthen the resolve in re-electing Tinubu and Kefas, but as a call for them to join the ongoing campaign championed by my humble self.

“This is aimed at consolidating the Renewed Hope Agenda achievements of President Tinubu and the Moving Forward Agenda of Governor Kefas,” he said. “In total, I have donated 31 transformers and 5,000 solar street lights and solar home systems spread across the local government areas of Southern Taraba, including Wukari, Ibi and Takum.”
