On Monday, the Gombe State Government provided significant relief to security agencies in the state by distributing food items, including 380 bags of 25kg rice, 380 bags of 50kg sorghum, and 240 cartons of spaghetti. This initiative was confirmed by Joshua Danmalam, the Information Officer from the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the State, on Tuesday.

Governor Muhammadu Yahaya, represented by the Executive Secretary Haruna Abdullahi at the event, approved the extension of food distribution to security personnel and their families. This gesture aims to support officers during these challenging times and is part of the broader efforts by the state government to alleviate the hardships currently being experienced across the country.

Danmalam highlighted that this distribution aligns with the ongoing efforts of the Gombe State Government to provide essential food supplies to its citizens. Previously, the state had distributed assorted food items across all 11 Local Government Areas, with the supplies provided by the Federal Government and the North-East Development Commission. These efforts are intended to mitigate the severe food shortages affecting the region.

Governor Yahaya’s administration has consistently offered palliatives to vulnerable groups, religious organizations, and civil society organizations. The governor assured that further distributions are planned and urged the leadership of the security agencies to ensure that the food items are distributed equitably among their personnel.

Bala Mohammed Speaks On Plan To Dump APM For PDP, Emerge Jonathan’s Running Mate.

Published

on

Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed, has officially denied rumors regarding an alleged plan to exit the Allied Peoples Movement (APM) to rejoin the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the 2027 election cycle. Furthermore, he has rejected claims that he is in line to serve as the vice-presidential running mate for former President Goodluck Jonathan.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

In a statement posted to X this past Sunday, the governor clarified that his primary political goal is to secure the Bauchi South Senatorial District seat as a candidate for the APM. He explicitly requested that the public ignore any contradictory information, labeling such claims as both inaccurate and purely speculative.

Origins of the Speculation This clarification from the governor follows public assertions made by Nuhu Sada, who previously ran as the Social Democratic Party (SDP) candidate for the Zaria Kewaye Constituency in the 2025 Kaduna State House of Assembly by-election. Sada had suggested that Governor Mohammed was preparing to defect to the PDP to join forces with former President Jonathan.

These rumors were further fueled by reports that a PDP faction, under the leadership of Tanimu Turaki, had declared Jonathan their consensus presidential candidate for the 2027 general elections—an action allegedly taken amidst security blockades and threats regarding their Abuja convention venue. Despite these developments within the PDP, Governor Mohammed maintains that his commitment remains squarely with the APM and his senatorial campaign.

The Comeback? Elisha Abbo Emerges As Labour Party’s Governorship Hopeful.

Published

on

Former Senator for Adamawa North, Elisha Abbo, has been officially ratified as the Labour Party’s consensus candidate for the Adamawa State governorship election. His endorsement by party stakeholders in Yola establishes him as the party’s official flagbearer, setting the stage for a highly competitive race.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

Abbo’s decision to join the Labour Party follows his exit from the African Democratic Congress (ADC), a move he attributed to internal friction caused by the party’s North-East Zonal Vice Chairman, Babachir Lawal. According to party leadership, his selection was the result of strategic consultations designed to bolster the Labour Party’s electoral prospects.

Political analysts suggest that Abbo’s candidacy may significantly shift the political environment in Adamawa, particularly given recent public discourse surrounding the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, Ahmed Galadima Aminu. Observers note that Abbo maintains a loyal support base among youth demographics and within sections of the Adamawa North region, which could play a pivotal role in the upcoming election.

A Career Defined by Ambition and Controversy Born on May 2, 1976, Abbo gained prominence in 2019 as one of Nigeria’s youngest senators. His political journey has been characterized by frequent transitions, having served under the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) before moving to the APC in 2020, and later joining the ADC coalition in 2025.

Throughout his tenure, his career has faced intense scrutiny:

  • Public Incidents: In 2019, he faced significant backlash following a viral video depicting a physical altercation at an Abuja shop, for which he later issued a public apology.

  • Electoral Challenges: In October 2023, the Court of Appeal nullified his victory, naming PDP’s Amos Yohanna as the rightful winner of the Adamawa North senatorial seat.

  • Legal Controversies: He was linked to criminal allegations in 2025, which he vehemently denied, characterizing the claims as a politically motivated attempt to damage his reputation.

Despite these challenges, Abbo remains a prominent and active figure, continuing to exert influence within the Adamawa political sphere.
