Goje Turns Down APC Consensus Deal In Gombe.

Published

on

The senator representing Gombe Central Senatorial District, Muhammad Danjuma Goje, has rejected the consensus arrangement reached by the Gombe State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC).....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

It was reported that party stakeholders, during a meeting held on Sunday and presided over by Governor Inuwa Yahaya, endorsed retired DCP Mohammed Ahmadu Deba as the consensus candidate for Goje’s senatorial seat.

Goje, who is seeking a fifth term in the Senate, faulted the decision in a statement released through his aide, Barr. Saidu Muazu Kumo.

According to him, the meeting was limited to the governor and a select group of aspirants, excluding several others who are legitimately in the race.

He maintained that some aspirants who had already obtained their expression of interest and nomination forms were not included in the consensus process conducted at the Government House.


Goje Cites Electoral Law Provisions

Goje argued that the Electoral Act clearly outlines the lawful procedures political parties must follow in selecting candidates for submission to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) ahead of the 2027 general elections.

He stressed that these procedures must be strictly observed to ensure fairness, legality, and transparency in the process.

Through Kumo, he further noted that the proper method of nomination, in line with electoral guidelines, is through direct primaries conducted under the supervision of INEC and relevant security agencies on a date to be fixed by the party.

The senator insisted that any move to impose candidates outside due process contradicts Nigeria’s electoral laws.

He also called for all recognised aspirants to be given equal opportunity to participate in a transparent and credible nomination exercise.
