The gubernatorial candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Gombe State, Dr. Jamil Isyaku Gwamna, has called for a clean, peaceful and issue-based campaign focused on the aspirations, needs and development of the people of Gombe State.
According to his Media Aide, Ibrahim Sani Shawai, Dr. Gwamna believes that the people of Gombe deserve a campaign centred on ideas, policies and practical solutions rather than insults, personal attacks and unnecessary distractions.
“From the very beginning, I made it clear that I will run an issues-based campaign. I have no interest in politics of insults, personal attacks, or needless distractions,” Dr. Gwamna stated.
Shawai said the principle of “Gombe Above All” remains central to Dr. Gwamna’s political vision, adding that the campaign will prioritise the collective interest of the state above personal and political differences.
He explained that the campaign will focus on critical areas including job creation, economic growth, youth and women empowerment, agriculture and livestock development, education, healthcare, infrastructure, entrepreneurship, investment and innovation.
According to Shawai, Dr. Gwamna has also called on the people of Gombe State to support President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Governor Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya, who is seeking election to the Senate, and other APC candidates contesting for seats in the National Assembly.
He noted that the projects, programmes and interventions implemented by the Inuwa Yahaya administration provide a strong record of development upon which the APC can continue to engage the people of Gombe State.
“Our campaign is equally committed to consolidating the remarkable achievements of Governor Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya while introducing fresh ideas, innovative policies and strategic initiatives that will accelerate growth,” Dr. Gwamna said.
Shawai further disclosed that once the gubernatorial and State Assembly campaigns officially commence, Dr. Gwamna will unveil his comprehensive blueprint for Gombe State, anchored on Continuity, Sustainability and Consolidation.
According to him, the blueprint will build on the achievements of the present administration while introducing practical solutions to create more opportunities, improve living standards and ensure balanced development across the state.
Shawai said Dr. Gwamna believes Gombe possesses the human and natural resources required to become one of Africa’s leading sub-national economies through visionary leadership, disciplined governance, strategic investment and the collective efforts of its people.
He therefore called on political actors, supporters and citizens across the state to maintain peace, respect one another and embrace a clean, responsible and issue-based campaign.
He reiterated that the interest of Gombe State must remain above personal and political differences.
