Gombe State Governor, Inuwa Yahaya, has urged All Progressives Congress (APC) members to unite and intensify grassroots mobilisation ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Yahaya made the call on Thursday in Gombe while inaugurating the state’s APC Campaign Council and Campaign Advisory Council for the 2027 elections.

He said the party’s success depended on unity, cooperation and members’ ability to communicate its achievements to voters across the state.

The governor urged the party’s Reconciliation Committee to engage aggrieved and sidelined members to resolve disputes and strengthen internal cohesion.

“We must recognise that political success depends on unity, cooperation and respect for the party’s leadership,” Yahaya said.

He described reconciliation as essential to bringing members together, resolving disagreements and building a stronger party ahead of the elections.

“Our reconciliation efforts must be taken seriously,” he said, urging the committee to deliver tangible results.

Yahaya called on members to prioritise the party’s collective interests over personal differences and work towards common goals.

He also urged the campaign team to publicise President Bola Tinubu’s administration’s achievements, particularly road infrastructure projects across Nigeria’s geopolitical zones.

He expressed optimism that unity and effective mobilisation would strengthen the APC in Gombe State ahead of the elections.

Earlier, the state APC Chairman, Dantata Ndus, described unity among members as non-negotiable for electoral success.

He charged campaign council members to mobilise voters effectively and secure support at their respective polling units.

“Let your impact be felt at the grassroots, in your communities and wherever you reside,” Ndus said.

He urged members to adopt respectful door-to-door campaigns and communicate the party’s achievements without insulting, intimidating or disrespecting anyone.

Meanwhile, the APC governorship candidate in Gombe State, Jamil Gwamna, urged campaign council members to justify the confidence placed in them.

Gwamna called for deeper grassroots mobilisation, sustained cooperation and practical efforts to achieve the party’s objectives.

“I also call on all members and supporters of the APC to embrace unity,” he said.

He urged members to remain patient, strengthen relationships and support one another, describing unity as essential to achieving their collective goals.
