Gombe State Governor, Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya, has formally presented the All Progressives Congress governorship candidate for the 2027 election in the state, Dr. Jamilu Isiyaku Gwamna, to President Bola Tinubu at the Presidential Villa in Abuja. The presentation followed Gwamna’s emergence as the party's flag bearer after securing victory in the recently concluded APC governorship primary election ahead of the 2027 polls. President Tinubu congratulated Gwamna on his victory and commended Governor Yahaya for his exemplary leadership and relentless efforts toward strengthening the party's structures across Gombe State.
According to a statement released on Sunday by the Director General of Press Affairs at the Gombe Government House, Ismaila Misilli, the President expressed absolute confidence in the leadership of the ruling party in the state and its capacity to sustain its ongoing developmental strides. The statement noted that the President was optimistic that “the party will continue to build on its developmental achievements and maintain the political stability that has characterised Gombe State under the Renewed Hope Agenda.” President Tinubu further lauded Governor Yahaya for his visionary approach to governance and his dedication to consolidating the foundation of the party within the subnational region.
Speaking during the executive meeting, Governor Yahaya commended President Tinubu for providing “purposeful leadership that continues to strengthen unity, cohesion and progressive governance across the country.” The governor expressed his gratitude to the President for his continuous support to Gombe State, particularly in areas concerning infrastructural advancement, economic expansion, and the execution of policies designed to foster sustainable development. He noted that the formal introduction of the candidate to the presidency highlights the political resolve of the party to preserve internal unity and guarantee an unhindered continuity in governance.
The governor emphasized that the introduction marks a major preparation milestone as the ruling party repositions itself to retain administrative control of the state after the expiration of his second tenure. Governor Yahaya stated, “Presenting Dr. Jamilu Gwamna to Mr. President is not only symbolic of party unity and continuity, but also a demonstration of the APC’s preparedness to consolidate on the gains recorded in Gombe State over the years,” The formal endorsement from the presidency is widely considered a key phase in solidifying Gwamna's position as the state transition draws closer.
