2027: I’ll run decent, issue-based campaign — Gombe APC guber candidate

The gubernatorial candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in Gombe State, Dr Jamil Isyaku Gwamna, has reaffirmed his commitment to a peaceful, issue-based and violence-free campaign ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Jamil Isyaku Gwamna made this known on Thursday while receiving various youth groups on a solidarity visit in Gombe. He emphasised that elections should not be treated as a contest of hostility but as a democratic process for selecting credible leaders capable of meeting the expectations of the people.

He assured supporters that his campaign would strictly adhere to the provisions of the Electoral Act, noting that it would be conducted within the bounds of order, civility and electoral integrity.

“My campaign will be guided by decency and respect for democratic principles,” he said.

The APC candidate further pledged to build on the achievements recorded under the administration of Governor Inuwa Yahaya while introducing policies aimed at promoting sustainable development through significant investment in human capital.

He also urged youths in the state to obtain their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) in preparation for the elections, stressing the importance of active civic participation.

He cautioned against any form of violence, reiterating that there is no place for violence in a democratic society.

The gubernatorial candidate also called on candidates of other political parties to fully comply with the Electoral Act, emphasising that the collective interest of Gombe State must take precedence over personal or partisan considerations.
