Gov Yahaya Hails Consensus As APC Ends Congresses In Gombe

All Progressives Congress (APC) in Gombe State has concluded its local government congress in Gombe local government area, with party leaders describing the process as peaceful and aligned with national guidelines.

Governor Inuwa Yahaya, who addressed party faithful after the exercise in Gombe council, said the congress marked the completion of a structured internal process that began at the ward level and culminated at the local government stage.

The governor pointed to the large turnout of party members on Saturday as evidence of unity and grassroots acceptance.
