The former deputy Governor of Gombe State, Charles Iliya, on Saturday, defected to the ruling All Progressives Congress.

Iliya was deputy Governor to Ibrahim Dankwambo. Our correspondent reports that he has been a major bedrock to the opposition Peoples Democratic Party in Gombe South.

He was unveiled during the commencement of the APC’s re-election campaign.

Among other prominent defectors are; the North-East PDP youth leader Kabiru Jauro, who promised to support Governor Muhammadu Yahaya to achieve his re-election bid.

Also speaking, former Atiku Abubakar’s campaigner, and a former governorship aspirant of the PDP, Isyaku Gwamna, while addressing thousands of followers, described his move as necessary.

Gwamna said, “It was better to rely on what you have seen than what you are promised.”


Speaking, Yahaya described the support as genuine following his performance since 2019. “The support is genuine because of our performance,” the governor said.

Meanwhile, former Governor Danjuma Goje, who is currently the senator representing Gombe Central was the only candidate absent.

Goje recently reconciled with the Gombe State governor in the twilight of the APC primary election where Goje picked a return ticket to the Senate.

How na? It will rather give atikulators HBp not obidients

What is going on shey LABOUR PARTY is not worth decamping in reality ?

garfield1:


How na? It will rather give atikulators HBp not obidients

Both of them. Have Obidiends not been saying atiku would clear the core north? If Tinubu is able to win Gombe, he may likely win the northeast because he would clear Yobe and Borno. Atiku wouldn't clear Adamawa that much. Taraba isn't that clear for him yet but if he eventually wins there, the margin would be infinitesimal. Bauchi inclusive.

Who said north is not in the bag


JAGABAN IS COMING

Tinubu presidency is gradually taking shape.

Lol!

Like APC did in Anambra where they bought even a sitting deputy governor, that’s what they are doing now.

They’ve embarked upon the purchase of anybody who has ever held any political post.

I’m sure their thinking is that the masses will be swayed by seeing big names in APC.

But like that strategy failed woefully in Anambra where it yielded just third position, it will fail again.

Tinubu is out of the contest.

His only option now is to back Obi in southern solidarity and as reparation for 2015 treachery.
