Governor Inuwa Yahaya of Gombe State on Thursday said the All Progressives Congress (APC) would record a landslide victory in the state in the 2023 polls.

Mr Yahaya stated this in the Sansani community of Billiri Local Government Area of the State while speaking with reporters shortly after his campaign rally in the LGA.

He stated that having gone around five LGAs of Balanga, Kaltungo, Kwami, Shongom, and Billiri and witnessed the support of the people for the APC, he remained confident that his party would win with a good vote margin.

“You have seen the turn out of the number of the people, the young and the old, male and female, all in support of the APC because they believe APC will deliver.

“And that is why I am absolutely confident and sure that we shall win the election from the presidency to the house of assembly; we shall win by the grace of Go,” the governor said.

According to him, the people of the state have demonstrated that they appreciate his administration’s efforts in delivering good governance toward improving the livelihoods of citizens.

The governor stated that with the support of the people and the achievements his administration had recorded within the last three and half years, he had no reason to be disturbed about the election.

“Why should I shake? I am determined, I have the support and followership; I will not shake forever by God’s grace,’’ he said.

Mr Yahaya advised the opposition parties in the state not to bother campaigning because “Gombe is the home of the APC, and it is clear from what we have seen so far in the campaign.’’

While wooing support for his party’s presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, in the Banganje community of Billiri LGA, Mr Yahaya said that an APC-led presidency would consolidate the good works of President Muhammadu Buhari in the state.

He stated that with the discovery of crude oil in Kolmani, Gombe State had joined the likes of states in the Niger Delta, adding that the feat was achieved under the APC.

The governor said the state had benefited immensely from APC at all levels, adding, ”hence, the state has all the reasons to re-elect the party to continue delivering good governance to the people.’’

The state campaign coordinator, Tinubu/Shettima, Alhaji Jamil Gwamna, said the APC had performed at all levels in the state and expressed confidence that the party would be rewarded with good votes in 2023.
