Political associates and key members of the political family of the late first civilian governor of Gombe State, Alhaji Abubakar Habu Hashidu, have declared their support for the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate in the state, Dr Jamil Isyaku Gwamna, ahead of the 2027 governorship election.
The declaration was made during an enlarged meeting of the associates, where members expressed confidence in Gwamna’s leadership capacity, experience and commitment to the development of Gombe State.
The meeting was significant given the longstanding relationship between Gwamna and the Hashidu political family, which dates back several years.
Speaking at the meeting, the leader of the group, Alhaji Daudu Umar Abdulsalam (Magajin Garin Gona), said the decision was based on longstanding personal and political relationships with Gwamna, as well as their assessment of his capacity to lead the state.
“Our support for Jamil Gwamna is not something that started today or because of the 2027 election. There is a history of cordial relationship and loyalty between him and the late Governor Hashidu, and many of us have known him for years.
