Gombe Gov Inaugurates APC Reconciliation Committee Ahead of 2027 Elections

Gombe State Governor, Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya, has inaugurated a 25-member reconciliation committee to resolve internal disputes within the All Progressives Congress (APC) and strengthen the party ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Speaking during the inauguration in Gombe on Thursday, the governor urged party members dissatisfied with the outcomes of recent congresses, primary elections and local government polls to set aside their grievances and embrace reconciliation.

He said the committee was constituted following the conclusion of several party activities, noting that although the exercises were largely successful, some members were dissatisfied with the outcomes.

“Perfection belongs only to Almighty God. As human beings, we are bound to make mistakes in our daily dealings,” Yahaya said.

The governor explained that the committee, chaired by the Deputy Governor, Dr. Manassah Daniel Jatau, would engage aggrieved members through dialogue with a view to rebuilding trust and restoring unity within the party.

“We need to sheath our swords and embrace dialogue so that we can put our house in order as the 2027 general elections draw closer. Our strength lies in our unity, and together we must build a stronger and more formidable APC,” he added.

Yahaya also charged the committee to discharge its responsibilities fairly and maintain the confidentiality of its deliberations.

He said the committee could co-opt additional members or divide its assignments across the state’s three senatorial districts where necessary to facilitate its work.

The governor stated that the APC was determined to retain all elective positions in Gombe State and secure at least one million votes for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election.

Responding, the committee chairman, Dr. Manassah Daniel Jatau, thanked the governor for the confidence reposed in the members and pledged that the committee would work diligently to reconcile aggrieved party members and strengthen the APC ahead of future elections.
