ADC: I’m authentic chairman in Gombe- Danladi Yau says
Mr Danladi Yau, on Friday said he remained the Gombe State chairman of the African Democratic Congress, stating that any other person claiming leadership of the party was fake and illegitimate.
Yau disclosed this while briefing newsmen shortly after the party’s State Executive Council meeting held in Gombe on Friday.
He stated that those parading themselves as executives under the leadership of Auwal Barde was working to destroy the party.
“ I am the authentic chairman of the ADC in Gombe State, recognised by the Independent National Electoral Commission.
“Anybody parading himself as chairman is fake and illegal of them to do so.
“Auwal Barde that is claiming leadership of the party in Gombe State was the former chairman who served since 2011 and his tenure lapsed in 2019.
“This is according to the four years of two terms, maximum stipulated by our party constitution.
“Barde has been expelled from the party in 2022 and we have the letter here, so how can he be the chairman?.”
Yau pledged allegiance to the David Mark-led leadership at the national level, urging members to work together to strengthen the party ahead of 2027.
He said that the ADC under his leadership was working to rescue Nigeria from the APC-government induced hardship that had made many Nigerians poor.
While displaying membership cards and register, the state chairman said that the ADC would soon begin registration of new members across the 114 wards in the state.
He said that the registration was to mobilise huge membership to challenge the All Progressives Congress-led government in the state and nation.
Speaking further, the chairman urged residents of Gombe State to embrace the ongoing nationwide Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) exercise.
He said that citizens of the state had the responsibility of acquiring their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) to be eligible to participate in any political process.
He said that part of the civic rights of Nigerians was to acquire their PVCs to participate in electoral process and make democratic decisions that would bring about the needed change that they seek.
Yau, therefore, urged all Nigerians and particularly ADC members in the country to embrace the ongoing CVR while advising those that just turned 18 to register too.

By: Yahaya Wakili
Yobe State, under His Excellency Governor, Hon. Dr. Mai Mala Buni CON, COMN, Chiroman Gujba, has recorded measurable progress in various sectors, viz., education, health, agriculture, and other social and economic empowerment initiatives in the state.
This was revealed by the Senior Special Assistant to His Excellency Dr. Mai Mala Buni CON COMN on youth and sports, Hon. Usman Gimba (Sarkin Adon Gubana), at the graduation ceremony of Shettiman Malamai School for Marriage Education in Potiskum.
He said under the governorship of my boss, His Excellency Mai Mala Buni CON, Yobe State is experiencing a giant transformation in the development of infrastructure, human capital, and agriculture.
According to Sarkin Adon Gubana, upon the inauguration of Governor Buni into office, he had set out to create an educated and a well-secured and empowered society with access to the education sector.
At the graduation ceremony, Hon. Gimba said, “What we need in the community is for all of us to be educated, including those who were in the school and those that are in the house, and this school consists of teaching those that are in the house.”
He maintained that the importance of sound and qualitative education to the growth and development of any human society needs not to be emphasized. Adding to that, the school consists of women, but wisely, we also need men; we need the education.
“Because this school is for marriage education only, but we men ourselves need it because we need to be educated on how we can handle our wives when we are married, he charged the students to make good use of what they learned from the school,” Sarkin Adon Gubana said.
The Senior Special Assistant on Youths and Sports thanks the CEO, Malam Abdurazak Abdullahi Usman, for making this gigantic initiative and calls on our leaders—traditional, politicians, and religious—to come out en masse to support the school to move forward.
