The presentation is regarded as a major step in the APC’s preparations for the 2027 general elections and a reflection of the party’s unity in Gombe State.
In a statement issued by the Director-General, Press Affairs, Government House, Ismaila Uba Misilli, Governor Inuwa Yahaya, who is the leader of the APC in the state, formally introduced Dr. Gwamna to the President following his emergence as the party’s flag bearer after winning the APC governorship primary election.
