Governor Inuwa Yahaya of Gombe State has urged residents to re-elect President Bola Tinubu and other APC candidates in 2027.

Mr Yahaya made the call on Saturday at the All Progressives Congress (APC) campaign flag-off in Bajoga, Funakaye Local Government Area.

He said Mr Tinubu’s re-election would consolidate development gains recorded under his administration, particularly in critical sectors.

The governor cited improvements in health, education and infrastructure, attributing them partly to federal government interventions.

He said residents had sufficient reasons to support Mr Tinubu in 2027, considering the administration’s interventions in the state.

Mr Yahaya described Mr Tinubu and other APC candidates as the most reliable options for sustaining democratic dividends and improving residents’ welfare.

“Since this administration began, efforts have been made to improve the lives of the people.

“There have been improvements in hospital services and medical investigations.

“Attention is given to young people through empowerment initiatives and other programmes designed to improve their livelihoods,” he said.

Mr Yahaya urged party members to remain united and committed to securing victory for Tinubu and other APC candidates.

“What is important is that we remain united and continue working together for the development of our country and the success of our party,” he said.

The APC governorship candidate, Jamilu Gwamna, commended Mr Yahaya’s leadership, describing it as committed to good governance and residents’ welfare.

Mr Gwamna pledged to sustain efforts to address challenges confronting communities across the state if elected.

The APC national chairman, Nentawe Yilwatda, urged members to remain committed, respect party leadership and recognise those contributing to the party’s growth.

Mr Yilwatda, represented by Ibrahim Masari, special adviser to the president on political matters, called for stronger grassroots mobilisation.

“We must continue to work together in unity and appreciate those who have supported the party and contributed to its development over the years,” he said.

He assured members that the APC would sustain projects and programmes aimed at improving residents’ welfare.
