The former National Youths Leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Sadiq Abubakar, has emerged the winner of the Gombe State Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) governorship primaries held in Gombe.
Speaking with newsmen after the governorship primaries, Sadiq Abubakar expressed gratitude to the party leadership, delegates, and supporters for the confidence reposed in him.
According to him, the move was also driven by an objective of securing free and fair victory in future election so as to continue to serve the people with strength and integrity.
He promised to formally announce his newly adopted political party in no distant time.
He described the nomination as a collective responsibility to the people of Gombe state.
“This honour is not for me alone, but belongs to every young person searching for opportunity, every farmer striving to make a living, every mother hoping for a better future for her children, and every community yearning for development,” he affirmed.
“Just as I had testified when I defected to the NDC that this is a political party where members are treated fairly and equally. It is a party where members’ mandates are not stolen or suppressed for favoured individuals and this attestation has manifested now,” he said.
Recall that the former APC National Youth Leader had dumped the APC, citing hardship faced by many Nigerian homes due to difficult policies and programmes by the party.
