Gombe State chapter of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has noted with deep concern, the continued violation of extant election laws and the constitution of the party by some of its members who are aspiring to run in the 2027 governorship election.
This was contained in a communique it issued at the end of an expanded State Executive Committee meeting held on Saturday, April 6th, 2024 to discuss political developments in the state.
It strongly condemned the actions of these prospective aspirants for the governorship of the state and urged them to avoid distracting the government of the Governor, Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya from delivering his campaign promises to the good people of the state.
In the Communique signed by Amb. Moses Kyari Bolda, State Publicity Secretary, the party stated “Accordingly, all political structures and contact committees established by these prospective candidates are hereby disbanded by the party.
