The Gombe State APC Campaign Council said its attention has been drawn to plans by some unscrupulous elements in the opposition in the state to come up with concerted smear campaigns against Governor Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya, who is the governorship candidate of the APC, in the coming days.
A statement on Monday, 13th March 2023 signed by the Director of Media & Publicity, APC Campaign Council, Gombe State, Ismaila Uba Misilli, said that credible intelligence that those opposition elements are working in cohort with their paymasters to dish out outright falsehood against our candidate and other party chieftains as part of their last attempts to hoodwink the Gombe electorate who have since made up their minds to reelect Governor Inuwa for a second term.
The statement read partially, “having seen the handwriting on the wall that they stand no chance in the rescheduled governorship and state assembly elections, which will now hold on March 18, these enemies of Gombe people have engaged the services of some political jobbers to execute their evil plot.
“We in the Gombe State APC Campaign Council have deemed it necessary to bring this to the attention of the Gombe people and urge them to disregard any such falsehood of any kind.
“We wish to reiterate that Governor Inuwa Yahaya remains resolute and deeply committed to continuing with his good governance that will ensure a better Gombe for all the people of Gombe State and beyond. On this, his resolve remains unwavering.
“We call on the general public not to give in to the opposition’s hateful political propaganda and campaigns of incitement that threaten our peaceful coexistence.
“Gombe is reputed for its political non-violence, tolerance, and stability. We must therefore approach elections as a family affair, devoid of rancor, ill-will, and bitterness.
“This is to also caution those planning such evil to shelve their plot as the people of Gombe are solidly behind Governor Inuwa Yahaya and will give him a second mandate on Saturday, March 18, In Sha Allah.
