The decision was announced during a stakeholders’ meeting, amid the ongoing political rivalry between Governor Inuwa and Senator Goje, which has persisted since the 2023 election cycle.
At the same meeting, the party also unveiled consensus candidates for various elective positions across the state.
According to the arrangement, Mohammed Ahmadu Deba was selected for Gombe Central Senatorial District, Jerry Damara for Gombe South, while Governor Inuwa Yahaya is expected to contest for the Gombe North Senate seat.
House of Reps Consensus List Released
For the House of Representatives, the endorsed candidates include Usman Bello Kumo for Akko, Inuwa Garba for Yamaltu/Deba, Ali Isa for Balanga/Billiri, Fatima Binta Bello for Kaltungo/Shongom, Saddam Bello for Gombe/Kwami/Funakaye, and Jamilu Shabewa for Dukku/Nafada.
Goje’s Political Position and Denial of Defection
Senator Goje, a four-term lawmaker seeking re-election, had recently joined a Senate delegation that met President Bola Tinubu, where they reportedly sought automatic tickets for serving lawmakers, a request that was said to have been rejected.
Meanwhile, Goje has dismissed rumours of defecting to the African Democratic Congress (ADC), following the circulation of a fake membership card on social media.
In a statement issued through his Special Assistant, Ahmed Isa Kashere, Goje described the viral card as fabricated and intended to damage his reputation.
He reaffirmed his loyalty to the APC, insisting that he remains a founding and committed member of the party, dedicated to promoting its ideals in Gombe State and across Nigeria.
