Dr. Victor Falack Shapes Taraba Central Senatorial Politics, Unveils Bold ‘People’s Pact’ Ahead of 2027, Promises Accessible Leadership and Inclusive Representation By Raymond Enoch

The political landscape in Taraba State received a fresh twist as renowned cleric, accountant, author and philanthropist, Dr. Victor Falack, formally declared his ambition to represent Taraba Central Senatorial District in the 2027 general election, unveiling an ambitious eight-point “People’s Pact” that he says will redefine representation and accelerate development across the district.

Running on the platform of the Accord Party, Falack launched what he christened “The Liberation Movement,” describing it as a people-oriented campaign designed to free Taraba Central from what he termed years of political stagnation, weak representation and failed leadership.

Speaking directly to constituents, the senatorial hopeful said his aspiration was born out of persistent calls by stakeholders across the district who believe the time has come for purposeful, accountable and accessible leadership.

“The call has been loud, clear, unmistakable and urgent. It is a call for liberation from political slavery. This is not just a call but a movement,” he declared, urging voters to judge candidates by their records of service rather than campaign promises.

Born on October 13, 1969, in Gembu, Sardauna Local Government Area of Taraba State, Dr. Falack combines religious leadership with extensive professional experience. A doctorate holder in Accounting, he is a Chartered Accountant, Chartered Economist and Chartered Tax Consultant whose career spans the manufacturing, oil and gas, public and private sectors, as well as entrepreneurship.

Beyond his professional credentials, Falack is the founder of the Falack Foundation, a humanitarian platform through which he says he has supported widows, orphans, indigent students and other vulnerable members of society. He is also a member of the Sardauna Traditional Council, author of 27 books and recipient of two honorary doctorate degrees in recognition of his contributions to humanity.

Drawing a sharp distinction between himself and traditional politicians, the Accord Party aspirant argued that leadership should be measured by proven impact rather than promises made during election campaigns.

According to him, his record already includes facilitating government employment opportunities for constituents across religious and ethnic divides, creating jobs through his private business, awarding scholarships, supporting widows and orphans, providing shelter for the homeless, investing in leadership development, promoting philanthropy and executing community development initiatives.

Explaining his decision to seek elective office, Falack identified six key motivations: filling the gap left by what he described as an inaccessible senator, giving Taraba Central a stronger voice in the National Assembly, attracting federal projects and investments, bridging the leadership deficit in the district, restoring public confidence in political leadership and responding to what he called a rescue mission initiated by concerned stakeholders.

He also sought to reassure voters that integrity remains the cornerstone of his leadership philosophy, insisting that wealth, power and influence have never altered his character or commitment to service.

“My immediate community can attest to the fact that whatever I have promised in the past, I fulfilled and even exceeded expectations,” he said, adding that his understanding of economics and governance would enable him to make meaningful contributions to legislation and national development.

At the centre of his campaign is an eight-point “People’s Pact”, which outlines his legislative priorities if elected.

The agenda promises the creation of employment and business opportunities, attraction of federal development projects, effective representation through impactful lawmaking, inclusive governance that accommodates every tribe and religion, a “Resident Senator” model that guarantees constant accessibility to constituents, strong advocacy for the marginalized and vulnerable, justice and fairness in public service, and expanded support for widows, orphans, persons living with disabilities, the elderly and economically disadvantaged citizens.

One of the defining features of his manifesto is his commitment to remain permanently connected to the grassroots rather than becoming what he described as an “Abuja-based senator.”

“I shall not shield or hide myself from my constituents. I shall remain accessible, visit communities regularly and maintain an open-door policy because accessibility is one of the greatest ways to respect those who elected you,” he pledged.

Political analysts believe Falack’s entry into the Taraba Central senatorial race adds a fresh dimension to the emerging 2027 political contest, particularly with his emphasis on documented philanthropy, grassroots engagement and issue-based politics.

With campaigns gradually gathering momentum ahead of the next general elections, Dr. Victor Falack’s Liberation Movement and People’s Pact have positioned him as one of the early voices seeking to reshape the political conversation in Taraba Central through a platform built on accountability, development, justice and people-centred leadership.
