Gombe State Governor Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya has inaugurated a 25-member reconciliation committee to resolve internal disputes within the All Progressives Congress (APC) and strengthen the party ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Speaking at the inauguration in Gombe on Thursday, the governor urged party members dissatisfied with the outcomes of recent congresses, primary elections and local government polls to set aside their grievances and embrace peace.
He said the committee was established after the party concluded several political activities, noting that while the exercises were largely successful, some members were disappointed with the results.
According to him, “Perfection belongs only to Almighty God. As human beings, we are bound to make mistakes in our daily dealings.”
Inuwa added that the committee, chaired by the Deputy Governor, Dr Manassah Daniel Jatau, would engage aggrieved members through dialogue to rebuild trust and restore unity within the party.
He said, “We need to sheath our swords and embrace dialogue so that we can put our house in order as the 2027 general elections draw closer. Our strength lies in our unity, and together we must build a stronger and more formidable APC.”
The governor also charged the committee to carry out its duties fairly and keep its discussions confidential. He said members could invite additional persons or divide their responsibilities across the state’s three senatorial districts if necessary.
Inuwa said the APC’s goal was to retain all elective positions in Gombe State and secure at least one million votes for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the 2027 elections.
Jatau, the committee chairman, thanked the governor for the confidence placed in the members and pledged that they would work diligently to reunite the party and strengthen its prospects in future elections.
