2027: Opposition bloc dumps PDP, LP, ADC for APC in Gombe
A coalition of stakeholders from opposition political parties in Gombe State has defected to the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, declaring support for President Bola Tinubu’s re-election bid and the governorship aspiration of Dr Jamil Isyaku Gwamna ahead of the 2027 elections.
The coalition comprises members of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, African Democratic Congress, ADC, and Labour Party, LP, who said their decision followed a review of the outcomes of their respective parties’ primary elections.
Speaking on behalf of the group, Prof. Sulaiman Dankande, Nura Abba, Abdullah Amtai, Dedan Mela and Murtala Usman Dukku said they had resolved to align with the APC and support Gwamna’s governorship ambition.
The coalition members were formally received into the APC by the party chairman in Gombe Local Government Area, Idris Saleh, who presented them with membership cards.
Meanwhile, former National Youth Leader of the APC, Sadiq Abubakar, has emerged as the governorship candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, in Gombe State.
Abubakar disclosed this shortly after emerging victorious in the party’s governorship primary election.
His emergence comes weeks after he resigned from the APC, citing economic challenges and dissatisfaction with the policies of the ruling party.
He said his decision to join the NDC was informed by his desire to participate in a political platform that guarantees transparent and credible primary elections.
Abubakar added that the move would provide him with an opportunity to pursue his political aspirations and serve the people of Gombe State.
