The All Progressives Congress (APC) has expressed confidence in its chances of winning the 2027 general elections in Gombe State, with its candidates in Gombe Central Senatorial District declaring that President Bola Tinubu and other party flagbearers will be an easy sell to voters.
The candidates made the declaration on Monday night at a rally in Deba, Yamaltu-Deba Local Government Area, which marked the end of their tour of electoral wards across the constituency to canvass support for the party.
The APC governorship candidate, Dr Jamilu Isiyaku Gwamna, said the Tinubu administration had done enough in the North-East, particularly Gombe State, to earn the support of voters in 2027.
He cited road projects, healthcare facilities and other infrastructure developments as evidence of the Federal Government’s interventions in the region.
Gwamna said the large turnout at the rally demonstrated that the APC remained firmly rooted in the state, expressing confidence that residents of Deba, Gombe Central and the state at large would vote massively for the party.
He also commended Governor Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya for what he described as significant achievements in different sectors, promising to consolidate on the administration’s successes if elected governor.
“APC has delivered in the state under Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya. He has done so well in many aspects of our lives, and I believe that, if given the chance, we are going to build on the successes of this government.
“We are going to improve on any gaps that we have seen, and we are also going to innovate and create new solutions to tackle our numerous problems,” he said.
The APC senatorial candidate for Gombe Central, DCP Muhammad Ahmadu, said Tinubu had already provided a roadmap for the party’s success, adding that it was the responsibility of party candidates and supporters to work towards achieving the set objectives.
Similarly, the party’s candidate for the Yamaltu-Deba Federal Constituency seat in the House of Representatives, Honourable Inuwa Garba, highlighted the benefits of infrastructure and healthcare projects in the North-East and Gombe State.
He specifically mentioned the Kaltungo Snakebite Hospital, Federal Medical Centre, Kumo, and Federal Orthopaedic Hospital, Billiri, among other facilities, as projects that had improved access to healthcare in the state.
The rally, attended by a large crowd of APC supporters, took place at the Deba Township Stadium and continued late into Monday night.
