Also speaking, the Special Adviser on Security to the Governor, Hon. Abubakar Aminu Musa (Talban Herwagana), described the move as a major step towards consolidating political unity and enhancing grassroots participation in governance.

Some of the defectors, in their separate remarks, expressed confidence in the leadership style of Governor Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya and lauded the developmental strides recorded by the APC at both state and national levels, citing these as the key reasons behind their defection.

The event, attended by party stakeholders, ward councillors, and enthusiastic supporters, concluded with calls for collective action to strengthen the APC’s position across Gombe State ahead of future elections.
