The Gombe State chapter of the Nigeria Amalgamated Traders and Artisans Development Association has reaffirmed its endorsement of Dr Jamil Isyaku Gwamna, as the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate for the 2027 election, pledging to mobilise support for the party across the state.
A statement signed by Ibrahim Sani Shawai Spokesperson to Dr Jamil Isyaku Gwamna said the endorsement was announced at a gathering held today at Custodian Hotel, Gombe, which brought together male and female members of the association from different parts of the state.
Speaking on behalf of the association, its Chairman, Alhaji Auwalu Abdulkadir, described Dr Gwamna as the best choice among the governorship contenders, citing his integrity, competence and ability to build enduring relationships across communities.
Abdulkadir said the association’s endorsement reflected its confidence in Gwamna’s character, leadership capacity and commitment to the development of Gombe State.
Describing the APC candidate as a symbol of unity and excellence, he noted that effective leadership requires more than ambition, stressing the importance of competence, accessibility and the ability to unite people around a common vision.
